BAAH!

As long as they have permission from the courts, having an exploit doesn't bother me - this will motivate the OEMs to review their code better next time! I was dead set against forcing OEMs to put back doors in, or forcing them to crack the phone either; but HEY, if there is a discoverable exploit, they are at least doing us a favor by giving a heads up. I don't feel they need permission to keep it secret either. Did Bletchley Park tell the whole world about breaking the Enigma code? Of course not! That kind of competition, is fair in love and war!
