You'll find the people value security more than privacy. This is why conspiracy to commit crime is already illegal.

That's just how society is.

Your choice on whether you want to live with the rest of society or not.

Polls show more support for Apple's position than for the FBI's, so I'm not sure your argument regarding the position of society is very convincing: http://www.reuters.com/article/us-apple-encryption-poll-idUS...

Just making conspiracy illegal doesn't mean you don't value privacy; it depends on what means are permissible to obtain evidence for the conspiracy.

If you believe in the concept of natural rights, then it doesn't matter what polls show. Privacy is a fundamental human right, and neither government nor mob has any authority to impinge upon that right.

You can justify anything with "natural rights".

false dichotomy.

The reality is that security is also suffering when you weaken encryption. Do you want people to be able to track your children? Do you want criminals to know when you are home? Do you want stackers reading messages of their victims? Do you want rapist to know where you and your friends go camping?

These are just things outside the problem that their is a multibillion doller industry depending on encryption in the internet.

dead wrong. The majority of people do as you say, but the majority don't understand the balance. Security means protecting a few targets. Privacy means protecting the freedom of every single person.

With that kind of reasoning, you'll favor research for medicine against rare 100% lethal diseases instead of 20%-lethal cancer...
