Polls show more support for Apple's position than for the FBI's, so I'm not sure your argument regarding the position of society is very convincing: http://www.reuters.com/article/us-apple-encryption-poll-idUS...

Just making conspiracy illegal doesn't mean you don't value privacy; it depends on what means are permissible to obtain evidence for the conspiracy.

If you believe in the concept of natural rights, then it doesn't matter what polls show. Privacy is a fundamental human right, and neither government nor mob has any authority to impinge upon that right.
