I was shocked to find out that far fewer people are killed with semi-automatic rifles (called Assault weapons) than with hammers or baseball bats. No one would ever think of even registering who has a hammer or baseball bat! Never mind making them illegal. New laws will solve nothing.
If it becomes illegal to unlock a phone, people will do it anyway. Also, I would be VERY interested to know who got paid in this deal. I have a working theory that no legislation of this kind ever takes place unless someone somewhere gets paid.
