<div class="gmail-m_5788927746176696892moz-cite-prefix">@Matt - 'a screen capture and remote
access ability', if installed on all phones would surely be a
'systemic vulnerability' in anybody's view, and would be a global
disaster if the method of triggering this ability escaped to the
wider world. This would be an example of precisely the dangerous
and ill-advised exploit that we are all concerned the agencies
might ask for in ignorance. Heck, this is exactly the sort of
malware exploit that after-market malware scanners and virus
checkers for phones should be looking for to to detect and warn
the user if an app or the OS had been compromised and was
attempting to do these things. I can see a rapidly growing market
for malware checkers!</div>

<div class="gmail-m_5788927746176696892moz-cite-prefix">@Paul - where is the requirement for
'judicial approval'? - it doesn't go anywhere near a court. The
TCN can be issued by the Attorney General. If (and only if) the
recipient thinks it might be able to be pushed back on, they can
ask for a review by a *retired* judge and a tech expert with a
high security clearance. A *retired* judge is not a 'judicial
approval', and the easiest place to source the other expert from
is from within ASIO - hardly independent. The AGD chooses the two
reviewers, not the recipient. The legislation as passed also
doesn't deal with the situation if the two experts disagree on
whether it is allowable or not. And there is no requirement for
a warrant to have been issued - the whole point of a TCN is to
preemptively create a capability that can be exploited later, on
the off chance there will be a future warrant that requires the
exploit to be triggered.<br>

strikes me that all that will be needed is the phone
manufacturers to put a screen capture and remote access
ability on the phones. Then Law enforcement need to do is read
the screens no need to involve the individual app makers at
all. They are after a wide and non savvy audience here.
Looking over the shoulder of phone users is what we are
talking about. I would say expect to see a boost in
convictions of medium size drug distributors and small
amateur terror type people. <br>

These are the same people that used sms before they just want
that capability back. <br>
