NY judge: US cannot make Apple provide iPhone data

Orenstein said he was offering no opinion on whether in the instance of this case or others, "the government's legitimate interest in ensuring that no door is too strong to resist lawful entry should prevail against the equally legitimate societal interests arrayed against it here."

If that is true, then the next step is going to be for the government to eliminate those security doors that people have on their houses. They can be too strong to resist lawful entry? While I am glad that the judge sided with Apple's viewpoint on this, I think it is a very dangerous precedent for the government to be saying that security whether cyber, or physical should be relaxed to make it easier for them to get around it. I have been staunch in my position that the government has a horrible track record when it comes to respecting boundaries of privacy, and an even worse record when it comes to security of information. Relaxing security so that the government can exploit it means that hackers are going to be salivating at the legislated stupidity.

Very Interesting. Government did not provide a good enough argument.

I think that's a wrong decision.
