The most troubling part of this is that Apple staff accompany ICE on raids.<p>It reminds me of the time the Gizmodo guy got a visit from the Feds after doing the article about the iPhone 4 prototype that they purchased from the bar (or the guy who found it at the bar, or whatever). Apple staff accompanied the cops then, too.<p>What other property owners get to ride along on federal investigations when there is a suspected case of theft?<p>It smacks of special privileges and private-government integration. This is not how competition is supposed to work.
