In the matter of the search of an Apple iPhone seized during the
execution of a search warrant on a Black Lexus IS300, California license plate
35kgd203 and the demand that Apple Inc. create new software to break its own privacy safeguards and potentially its encryption codes, the IT world steps in to help.

UPDATE
Cnet, 9 March 2016:
The latest figure with
an opinion on the fight between Apple and the FBI is none other than NSA
whistleblower Edward Snowden.
His conclusion? The
FBI's claim that only Apple can bypass the security of the iPhone used by a
terrorist is bogus.
"The FBI says Apple
has the 'exclusive technical means' of getting into this phone," Snowden
said Tuesday.
Snowden called the claim
malarky, without using such a polite term. "Respectfully, that's
bulls***," he said.
The former National
Security Agency contractor, who fled the US and lives in Russia, made the
remarks while speaking via a video link from Moscow at advocacy
group Common Cause's conference in Washington DC.
