Yes

This is one of those rare occasions when a question asked in the headline should not automatically be answered “no”.

Does society really want extremely private mobile devices if they make life easier for criminals? Apple’s newly toughened standards sharpen the focus on that question.

As ever, the police will just have to rely on criminals being stupid instead of invading all our privacy (privacies?) in the name of safety. Hardly a nightmare scenario.
