I'm surprised that Apple has gone so political against the government here. Despite a massive amount of lobbying by the FBI, Congress has so far given the tech industry the benefit of the doubt, believing our argument that "we're just making our products as secure as we possibly can, even against ourselves." Now Apple is parroting that line even when it doesn't apply, and using it in a political PR war against the government. How do you think Congress will see that? Apple has stepped off of the high-ground and into the battlefield.
