Another round between Apple and the FBI

From Reason: “Apple is getting the last word before Tuesday’s court date with a final brief, which does not pull punches, either rhetorically or technically. It blasts the Justice Dept. for misreading (probably deliberately) the context of previous decisions invoking the All Writs Act (legislation intended for the courts to use to force compliance to legal orders in certain situations) and trying to get the courts to completely ignore both the consequences of conscripting a private company to produce software on demand, as well as the consequences of demanding a weakening of phone security because it may help (possibly, but maybe not) the government get useful information.”
