> They'd have the ability to pick all of them. Contempt of court to all unless one agrees. What? No. The judge would be ordering Apple. A whole separate case would need to be brought ordering specific people. Let's game it through: 1. Tim Cook, following judges order, orders the engineers with the knowledge to unlock the device. 2. The engineers refuse Cook's order. He reports this to the judge. 4. Judge has two options: Order Cook to threaten to fire said employees, or individually order employees to comply. Most likely the former is legally untenable. He thus is forced to do the latter. I don't believe a judge would or even could go that far, except perhaps in times of war.
