If the FBI were a private organization, I&#x27;d agree with you, but the FBI is paid by the public and is supposed to be protecting the public, so they should not leave the public open to a gaping security hole in a product that millions of people use.<p>They can&#x27;t even pretend that the technique would never be utilized by &quot;bad guys&quot; outside of the USA government since  whatever the technique is, it&#x27;s already available for purchase.
