    WASHINGTON "” As a legal matter, the showdown between the Obama administration and Apple touched off Tuesday by the ruling of a federal magistrate judge in California turns on an 18th century law. More practically, though, it boils down to this question: Should you be able to lock your phone so securely that even the F.B.I. cannot open it?

    The Obama administration and police officers around the country say no, and their precedent is the past. Homes and cars do not have unbreakable locks. You cannot buy an uncrackable safe. And terrorists and child molesters should not be able to buy a hand-held computer that keeps its secrets forever.

    Wow I didn't think this forum would pose such a question/thread but since it's out here now.
    The law removes certain rights of convicted criminals. So in my opinion the rights to privacy go out the door when you commit a felony. Unless I'm mistaken since in reality you don't own the software on the phone anyway you are only allowed to use it.
