I like the idea of focusing on the device problem rather than the transport problem.

I'm personally completely ok with the special devices specific unlock code suggested. It's not universal, and requires the government to go through the company first who at some level at least have a stake in me believing my device is secure.

The insentives seem to work and I still have reasonable security.

Sure, let's just have Equifax store this data. They're good at protecting confidential information right? or maybe Facebook?

I think you have an unreasonably low threshold for what qualifies as "reasonable security".


Security is pretty binary in this sense. It is either secure or it isn´t.

Backdoored “security” is in no way reasonable. It’s essentially not security at all.


This will undo all efforts so far that tried to deter thieves from stealing iPhones and expensive Android phones.
