The FBI&#x27;s argument doesn&#x27;t come anywhere close to saying that. What the FBI&#x27;s motion actually says[1] is:<p><i>Pursuant to the All Writs Act, the Court has the power, &quot;in aid of a valid warrant, to order a third party to provide nonburdensome technical assistance to law enforcement officers.&quot;</i><p>The most important limitation here is that nobody, including the FBI, is claiming the All Writs Act grants the court any power at all in the absence of a search warrant. Nobody really disputes the statement above, or the validity of the warrant in question.<p>Again: if the FBI wants Apple to preemptively insert a generalized backdoor into their products they&#x27;ll need to lobby to have new legislation passed. They&#x27;ve tried that and it hasn&#x27;t gone much of anywhere. In my opinion lets try and keep it that way.<p>[1] <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.wired.com&#x2F;wp-content&#x2F;uploads&#x2F;2016&#x2F;02&#x2F;SB-shooter-MOTION-seeking-asst-iPhone.pdf" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.wired.com&#x2F;wp-content&#x2F;uploads&#x2F;2016&#x2F;02&#x2F;SB-shooter-M...</a>
