Apple recently got a patent for a device that can disable phones' features remotely.

ZDNet had an article entitled "apple-patent-could-remotely-disable-protesters-phone-cameras-7000003640" recently... it's worth finding and reading...

most of us could fathom this stuff but don't have the money to make patents and then cash in when someone else does the work to make the fantasy a reality. Just like Star Trek TNG's PADDs... or, rather, iPADDs...

On the plus side, the FBI will probably pay royalties, on top of the usual subsidies, handouts, and other entitlements, to Apple as such...
