What impact might this have on tax revenue from said controlled devices no longer being purchased in California?

Do we start referring to encrypted devices without back doors as contraband?

Unfortunately, the vast majority of consumers don't understand what this means and will continue to purchase their phones from the local Apple/AT&T/Verizon/Sprint/TMobile Store.
Most people also buy the "nothing to hide" argument, in the interest of not making trouble.
Whenever someone brings up that argument, I ask them to let me see their phone, PC, etc. and all the data on it. The majority will ask why, to which I respond, "you have nothing to hide, right? So what's the deal with me seeing it?"
