Is this actually real? It feels too much like something that could come from the onion.

> that authorized officers may enter your home at any time and quietly conduct their business without disturbing your day.

That feels too much like satire to be reality now. If yes, then damn, it seems like we are speeding down a very dark path.

No. It's actually a metaphor for Apple's new phone search policy.

But knowing that would require reading the article, something many people on HN never do.

Lol, thanks for pointing that out. I do agree, I did not read past the thick line at the bottom which explained it all, so much for paying attention to detail.
