If they ask for the software, Apple should deny that request because that&#x27;s very different from asking for assistance on a case-by-case basis with a court order for each one.<p>The question reasonable, non-technical people are going to ask is: how is this different than asking to search a house.  There&#x27;s a court order, it&#x27;s not just the FBI acting on its own.  They&#x27;re asking Apple to do it, and not hand over a master key, which <i>would not</i> be reasonable at all.
