quote:You have two issues here.
I care. I would rather the government (and eventually hackers) not have the ability to break into my phone whenever they want.
Issue 1: Government Invasion-
I agree that the information contained on a smart phone is much more invasive than fifty years ago getting a wiretap. But from a legal standpoint, the public airwaves are being used, therefore the federal government has some oversight responsibility. Also there is a national security component to being able to review the information being exchanged. You can't have a 100% secure private communication system that uses federal airwaves.
Issue 2:
Private hacking. You think hackers aren't hard at work right now? Maybe the government having access might make their task easier but they (hackers) will hack ANY man-made system for the potential fiscal reward. Bringing this into the argument is a red herring.

Public Airwaves???
That's like saying Public Sunshine or Public Gravity. Pure poppycock that the "airwaves" are owned.
They have no right to my private business.

You left out OTHER Government hacking.
You may trust your information to the US government. But its not private hackers you have to worry about. Do you trust your information to China? North Korea? Iran? Its not just the governments you trust that will only have your information. It will be a free for all.
