Totally agree with you. I like my Nexus 5x a lot. I figure that usually it's the highest levels of government who are actually willing to pay a sum like that though. I doubt the local PD is willing to dedicate 1mil to cracking a phone if you get arrested for possession of a controlled substance or something.

And it's kinda an unspoken goal of mine to, ya know, not end up on a CIA watch list. Now I know some of the concern goes around controlling so the Government doesn't get out of control but I think that we would expect a government's worth of resources able to do something as trivial as cracking a commercial phone.

First rule of not being on the watch list is not to admit you don't want to be on the watch list.

What, do you have something to hide? Huh?

I invoke my 5th amendment right.
