Law enforcement across the country are asking the FBI to share its hack of an iPhone 5C with them so that they can move forward with hundreds of cases across many jurisdictions.
I’m surprised that Apple hasn’t hit the FBI with a restraining order yet to prevent that from happening.
The legal types over at Apple are probably looking at all the options, including whether Apple might be liable if they patch the FBI hack, thereby denying law enforcement the information that they’re after on hundreds of phones.
I’m not taking a position on that question.
But I’m beginning to wonder if there’s a black flag operation in progress between the FBI and Apple. The longer Apple takes to respond publicly, the more suspicious I get.
That has the makings of a Hollywood movie.
