How is this not an anti-trust issue?

Of course the government wants this capability to access anyone's system, so I assume nothing will be done. This has to be one of the worst things that has happened in the history of computing.

EDIT: Handy for CBP use, I imagine.

This has nothing to do with anti trust. Selling hardware doesn't require you provide software or the ability to run your desired software.
