Snowden has been tweeting about skepticism being warranted. Especially skepticism of the FBI statements, since law enforcement is allowed under law to lie (at least out of court) and mislead in order to further cases. Some questions to ask: - Has the FBI stated that they do not already have the pin for the device? They did state that the device is locked but I didn't see it stated that they don't already have the pin. So do they? It's not a crazy question. They have a good reason to pretend they don't have it. - Has the FBI stated that the device was ever in the physical possession of the suspect during the time since the last backup? Or are we all just assuming this? This information is not going to be given voluntarily. - If one FBI agent has provided testimony that he and some Apple engineers could find no feasible alternative, that should be taken as the findings of just that one agent, not the entire government. What about the rest of the FBI? What about the NSA? If these questions aren't asked, the FBI has no reason to answer.
