Gee, guess you’ll have to get a warrant, Chief.

True.
May people's lives will be ruined if a totalitarian dictatorship runs roughshod over the People!

I see their point but they have no one but themselves and the NSA to blame.
The Patriot Act was a clarion call to Americans that government could and now has overstepped its bounds.
We are still citizens with 4th Amendment rights. If they haven’t been so routinely stomped on by the feds and local LEO’s (Mind if we search your vehicle or residence?) I might feel bad. However I don’t.
I fear the government more than a terrorist.

What did the authorities expect? Apple and Google (neither of whom I like) are just answering the call from consumers for better digital security. Marketing prevails.

I upgraded my wife's phone yesterday for an Apple 5. She wanted all her apps and contacts, so I asked them to transfer them. I watched as he plugged the one phone into the port of a neat little box. He then plugged in the new phone and presto! in one minute it buffered 1,200 contacts, all the apps, her emails, and grocery lists. Then he uploaded them to her new phone and done!
I said wow! I bet the cops have those. He said yep, and they carry them in their cars. I said no warrants or anything? He said nope!

Bogus claim meant to settle hostilities towards government spying on citizens.
For the past ten years of so the FBI has been enjoying a significantly different relationship with the NSA. In prior years the FBI had very little cooperation with the NSA. The relationship now has the FBI /CIA/DHS all cooperating and that includes cryptology. The NSA can read faster than you can any encrypted message you may ever receive. Now the FBI has that ability.

They need a continuous view of your private information to fight the War on Terror. [Little irony and sarcasm there. Watch out for the local, yocal robbers behind them.]

All show and don’t think any of this is true. Snowden gave all these companies black eyes and they lost face with the public. I don’t believe for a second that Apple or Google are not working with law enforcement to violate our privacy.

...even when they have valid search warrants. Having a valid search warrant doesn't mean a person has to divulge the combination to their vault. The police may take the vault, but they still have to open it.

Yeah, and I don’t have a cel phone.
So how do they decrypt the stuff out of my brain????
Like names, incidents, dates, images, etc.
Got to protect all those lives, you know.

Exactly! This is a direct result of the Snowden effect. It shouldn't be taken lightly he was the first to defect from the US over issues of liberty.
