I agree, the general problem can no be solved technically. However I do think its valuable if apple builds the system in a way that forces the state to adopt clunky tools blanked backdoors.<p>At this point the techindusty should have drawn a line and fight for it.<p>Maybe this is Apples strategy. The want to raise the conversation but know they are gone lose this perticular case, so that they have a better position in the next, more important case.
