And therein lies the problem. People who don't have a smartphone assume it's just a telephone.
It's not.
The iPhone is my sister's primary computer, and smartphones are that for MILLIONS of others. They are fast enough now, and have a good enough display, and enough storage to do most of what people need to do on a computer. Yes, they can even print, using a wireless printer like the one I own.
Do not mistake this: California and the US Government want OWNERSHIP of every piece of information, even the most private, that people store on their phones computers, for that is what smartphones are now.
Encrypted is another story.
I’m only talking about what someone speaks, who they call and un-encrypted text messages.
Shoot we’ve been capturing a lot of that since the 1970’s with the geosync satellites. They download the info which is then converted from voice to text and made scannable to computers. This is what “Falcon and the Snowman”, Boyce and Lee, compromised with the access one of them had to the TRW facility. Way back.
Apple is concerned about future phone sales, imho, if they break this thing.
I say they already have the technology.
Even chat rooms recorded conversation logs and were required to keep them for some period of time. I personally spoke with a couple of FBI agents when I reported a guy who was threatening to hack a website. He tried to himself afterwards but it was too late. His original I.P. address had already been recorded.
Oh, that I already know (its general capabilities).
I’m just wondering what is encrypted. Certain messages?
Any voice they’re speaking is already captured.
Congress has the Article I Section 8 right to regulate commerce.
This means it can tell manufacturers how to design products.
Congress has the Article I Section 8 right to raise armies which means it has the right to tell Apple (and Samsung)programmers what to do.

“smart phones will be cheap if this passes, they won’t be able to give them away. “
98% of smart phone users don’t give a hoot about encryption.
“Any voice they’re speaking is already captured.”
Not that anyone knows.
“California and the US Government want OWNERSHIP of every piece of information”
Google has the ownership.
Does Google have a Big Brother?
“....I am very, very happy that I now live in Wyoming where people don’t have to worry about cops breaking down their door at 3am ‘to check on them’.”
Congratulations! I’m happy for you! Now, if you want it to remain that way, you’ll need to be both fearlessly vocal and active to ensure libtards are not welcome in your community. It doesn’t take long for libtards to get a foothold in a good community and then start changing it. Once they start getting established and more and more start arriving, it’s VERY difficult to restore things to how they were.
“If they give the keys to government, they’re giving them to criminals too”
Not so.
One can have a device-based key, so you would need the device itself.
Or you could have a two-part key, one part with the manufacturer and another part with the NSA.
Or you could have a three-part key, one part with the manufacturer and another part with the FBI and a third part with the NSA.
Californians will have to buy their iphones online then...
(from which Ecological Land Fill Site does California dredge up all these dictatorial jerko politicians)
I'm sure that Apple (the manufacturer) is capable of decrypting and unlocking their phones. They just refuse to do it for the FBI. This bill is meaningless.
If so this should be a boon to Nevada, Arizona and Oregon.

Yeah, I used to buy a lot of code in an image (commercial purposes). We didn’t have anything evil behind it, but there was a lot there.
I tell people, just because you think you see a white page, doesn’t mean there’s not a whole lot more going on there.
Shoot, even end-user software is doing that. Certain ones, that is.
[ I’m sure that Apple (the manufacturer) is capable of decrypting and unlocking their phones. They just refuse to do it for the FBI.]
I agree. Nobody puts something like that out there without that capability.
PUT a lot of code - darn autocorrect
They might as well pass laws requiring a law enforcement administrative access username and password for every PC, laptop and tablet and forbidding any, or forcing a backdoor to, storage encryption (hard disk, thumb drive, SSD, etc) in any of those devices. What do they think a “smartphone” is?
The answer is in how many servers and virtual servers one can pack into gigantic facilities. You know, like near a river. Cough.
crud - phone call
