This analogy is terrible.

The FBI isn't asking for this on all iphones. It's asking for apple to help them hack into a single iphone, which it already has it's possession. And it's pursuant to a court order, which limits the chance that this is a fishing expedition.

It's more like asking the gun manufacturer to make a tool that fits the mold of the gun to take it apart so they can gather forensic evidence. Hell, I best most people would okay with that even if it affected all guns. But this apple situation isn't going to effect all iphones.

shortsighted argument.

With digital technology, proliferation is magnitudes easier than something that involves a physical object without involving digital computer technology.

The risk profile is entirely different...
