To me this may explain another reason law enforcement agencies are upset about the recent changes Apple and Google made that prevent them from providing phone data.

If what the article said is true, it's not that they can't see the data, they just can't use it in court. Part of what the article calls the 'Planned Program Perjury Policy' would likely be to reverse engineer a probable cause to get a warrant for the device then serve the warrant to Apple/Google and then take the evidence to court.

While I don't agree with the headline the points made in the actual article are great. When a business makes a lot of money from a single source new ideas can seem too risky or even harmfull to existing profits.

Jobs ability to look beyond the current paradigm above all that was unique.
