I don&#x27;t think the question turns on unreasonable searches.  Apple isn&#x27;t being searched here.<p>Instead, the question is whether the All Writs Act grants sufficient power to compel a company, third-party to the action, to build a tool for breaking into its product.  This is different to your telephone interception example, because that interception is authorised by a specific statute, not using a general writ issued under the All Writs Act.<p>The argument here is executive overreach - that they should be asking the legislature to pass a law specifically to require this kind of assistance, rather than using the All Writs Act.
