39. To which Tim Cook's response is the most salient reason why the tech sector won't comply with this.
Tue Jan 26, 2016, 06:43 PM

"There are intimate conversations with your family, or your co-workers. There's probably business secrets and you should have the ability to protect it. And the only way we know how to do that, is to encrypt it. Why is that? It's because if there's a way to get in, then somebody will find the way in. There have been people that suggest that we should have a back door. But the reality is if you put a back door in, that back door's for everybody, for good guys and bad guys."

If you knew a single thing about the tech sector and how it corresponds to the legal sector, you'd know full well that the only way to force this kind of thing that isn't installing a clandestine back door was found in 2012 by the United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit to be a violation the 5th amendment; not getting into the just as morally egregious use of national security letters by the FBI.

So please, I ask you to enlighten me: how exactly, does one find cooperation with experts telling her what she wants is impossible?
