My response would be along the lines of:
"The USA fought a war in part because they did not like the use of general writs of assistance to allow agents of the British King to search peoples houses and papers where their suspicion chanced to fall. The UK lost that war so no way!"
Not the strongest argument these days. There's no way that the US hasn't already backdoored apple's systems. They might not be sharing that access with your local law enforcement agencies, but you can bet that the NSA has a backdoor. They've likely set up camp inside Apple. (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Room_641A). It seems the US lost the war to stop kings from spying too.
