The initial order was for the installation of a "pen-trap" to collect metadata on one account. According to the document, this is typically implemented by the provider without installing any FBI hardware.
From page 104 of http://s3.documentcloud.org/documents/801182/redacted-pleadings-exhibits-1-23.pdf http://s3.documentcloud.org/documents/801182/redacted-pleadi...:
"In this case, the SSL keys are 'information ... necessary to accomplish the installation and use of the [pen-trap]' because all other options for installing the pen-trap have failed. In a typical case, a provider is capable of implementing a pen-trap by using its own software or device, or by using a technical solution provided by the investigating agency; when such a solution is possible, a provider need not disclose its key."

- tedunangst 13y agoHow do you go from "In a typical case, a provider is capable of implementing a pen-trap by using its own software or device" to "obviously the FBI owned and controlled device"?
- acqq 13y agoYou intentionally omit "by using a technical solution provided by the investigating agency." Moreover you completely ignore the initial order where they don't mention that they will accept what Lavabit can provide them but expect help in installing the device.
- tedunangst 13y agoSo did you intentionally or accidentally omit the word "or"?
