Encryption used to be regulated like weapons. Not sure if it still is, but back when I was stuff with cylink, there was a whole laundry list of countries we could not ship to.
Codes and cyphers have always been the domain of the state way way back in recorded history. And Apple has been helping the FBI unlock phones according to some of the interwebs press stuff. Just not this one. What is the problem in letting them have access to the encrypted data? If they can guess at a single word like jihad etc, they might catch a key with rainbow tables etc. To refuse to help the government discover evidence involved in a terrorist act, I consider that sedition at the least and really aiding and abetting the enemy - treason. They are refusing to unlock the phone. Not backdooring the encryption of the data, simple unlock. If you have to finger a person illegally downloading a movie, how can you justify a fit of apoplexy in helping getting a lead on enemies of the state? I expect that if this continues, they can attempt to mill the cover off the die and probe the chip. If the guvmnt can legally tap your phones, why not tap your data? (Of course one presumes you can trust them.) With a court order I think they ought to be able to dig into anything they can find. Got something to hide... then physically hide it better.
