Surrendering the source code to iOS? That sounds like a huge overreach by a law enforcement agency. That thumb drive would be worth billions of dollars. A $60K/year bureaucrat is supposed to protect it from Apple's competitors? I wonder how long it would be before this prized intellectual property ended in the hands of Samsung, various Chinese companies, maybe a copy floating around Russian and East European networks, and eventually Google labs?
The scary thing is that the FBI, with the support of the President and quite a few top Congressional leaders, could very well win.
