How is that out of scope? Haven't they been doing exactly this for at least five years? Miscrosoft backdoors et al?

And I think an Apple employee is that last person that would leak anything. They work for Apple after all, starting to work there surely takes some abandonment of principle.

In the end, why would anybody feel assured by what someone believes someone else would do?

Edit: Why is imaginenore downvoted so heavily? His concerns seem rather rudimentary.
