“When we have a search warrant and we are in front of a house and the door is locked, and you know that the criminal is inside of the house, the population will not accept that you cannot enter.”

Yeah, and you know what happens then? They don't go to the person who made the lock and ask them to unlock it. They brute force the door open.

So go for it. Brute force that encryption. You're just pissy that all your power amounts to nothing when digital security can't be broken at gunpoint.
