&gt; I don&#x27;t see the point you are trying to make.<p>Somalia is a country where the government are beholden to the citizenry.<p>&gt; I&#x27;m simply suggesting that &quot;treating the government as no better than a customer&quot; is probably a healthy attitude<p>I see no evidence for that. Being able to treat a search warrant as if it&#x27;s a polite request would help pretty much nobody.<p>&gt; I recognize this as an idealistic attitude. I&#x27;ve always leaned libertarian.<p>By typical libertarian logic, Apple would be justified in torturing and executing the FBI agents on their property, as property is private and the Government is subordinate. The FBI agents violated the Non Aggression Principle by attempting to coerce Apple&#x27;s employees to act.<p>Where have I mistaken your logic there?
