Apple Encryption Engineers, If Ordered to Unlock iPhone, Might Resist
Taking this further down the rabbit hole:<p>Suppose that only about 5 people can do what the FBI wants done. Suppose all 5 refuse, to the point of quitting Apple. Does the FBI now compel them to return to Apple and write the software or go to jail?<p>And what if one of those engineers says that he doesn&#x27;t actually know how to do it; Apple only thought he could, but he actually can&#x27;t. Now we get into territory of proving competency and capability.
