Is that how now is called an enforced remote backdoor? What ensures you that it won't be used to i.e. track everyone, where they are, what they use, what they write or how licensed is the media they are playing? Will be outlawed (or at least, not offered by the companies) the "non-approved" phones because of this?
Probably "think on the children" and "or the terrorist will win" were too used this week, and they had to invent something else. But i would had waited a few weeks so the massive awareness on how they are tracking us deflates a bit before proposing such kind of things.
In one of the links of above there is a nice hint:
Microsoft Corp. (MSFT), the world’s largest software company, provides intelligence agencies with information about bugs in its popular software before it publicly releases a fix, according to two people familiar with the process. That information can be used to protect government computers and to access the computers of terrorists or military foes.
That seem to mean that they are actively holding the fix of 0day bugs, waiting for the "government" (or the people that have access to that information) make a successful exploit and use it, before releasing a patch.
You can get anything from 30 years to a century in jail for things that goes into the hacking umbrella, even for things that traditionally you won't call attacking. And if you are outside US, a drone could visit you.
This usually goes attackers or people that exploits or just bumps against a vulnerability in US government/institution sites, but even if you do against an "evil" organization (and that it is not just a nsa/fbi cover operation or whatever) it could eventually be used against you.
HOLY MACRO!
