I guarantee you if it's possible to hack, it's only a matter of time before others do it anyway.  So, you're simply prolonging the inevitable.  Also, the personal guaruntee's of people online, don't really matter much in a court.  The American public determined they didn't want the Government collecting data, and required the authorities obtain specific warrants for these types of things, the FBI got the necessary warrant.  

I'm pretty sure if Apple doesn't do this, it requires a jailbreak because this sounds like an OS update specifically tailored for the target phone(s). I don't think you can hack a jailbreak into a phone and if you can, we're really, really far from it happening in practice.

So, basically the OS update would be for the target phone only?  Then what's the problem?
