"Lawful" access via backdoors wouldn't be lawful at all if you consider that code is protected free speech. Therefore companies and individuals have the right to code programs with encryption and no back doors for law enforcement, regardless of whether they have a magic piece of paper (warrant) or not. 4th amendment issues aside this is a 1rst amendment issue. If companies such as Apple do give in and build backdoors for law enforcement, consumers need to boycott all of their products.
