Yup. I'd be happy if we all as an industry took a year or two to evaluate all our current technology and fixed as much as possible to make everything resistant to eavesdropping by intelligence agencies all over the world. Until I have confidence that I can trust the device in my pocket, I don't really want to be granting it even more privacy invading features ripe for abuse.
