Will any gov agency in any country allow the use of an iPhone knowing the UK (and of course anyone else) 100% has access?

@jsnell @marcoarment I generally agree for many features and experiments, but this feels like if Apple designers watched Indiana Jones and thought it was a fun movie so designed door handles that required putting your hand in a hole full of bugs to operate.

The issues are not obscure usability quirks easily overlooked during design.
