Which is fair play.

I fully expect authorities from any countries to try to get evidences from physical access to electronic devices in the case of criminal investigation. Just like they can go into ones house and open safes with a torch if a judge allows it.

The problem is mass surveillance, not getting data about someone under arrest.

Of course, I unfortunatly also fully expect them to abuse that and use it outside of criminal investigations, without the knowledge of said person.

That as well.

Apple may state that their enclave is secure, the existance of such tools and the fact they were part of PRISM hints that they are like all others: open to those with a lot of resources.
