No worries. But I do think you're right, that sort of situation would absolutely be a long-term dream for the government. When companies take steps to further lock down their devices, there's probably a pretty decent chance that someone is going to get a very not-so-bright idea and try to run with it.

I don't think it'd succeed for the reasons above, but when the alternative is nothing, dumb ideas can look awfully good to people at first. If there's one thing that's come out of all the publicity over the FBI's request, it's that every criminal and terrorist in the world now knows to turn off their iCloud backups. It was obvious before, but never so publicized. Oops? Unintended consequences.
