DOJ Says It May Not Need Apple's Help to Unlock iPhone
http://fortune.com/2016/03/21/doj-court-hearing-apple-postpone/
The Justice Department asked a judge on Monday to postpone a
hearing scheduled for the next day about whether Apple should be
compelled to help unlock an iPhone used by one of the San
Bernardino shooters. The surprise last minute filing said that
the Federal Bureau of Investigation would try to access the data
stored on the iPhone used by Syed Rizwan Farook through
alternate means, without specifying exactly how. It raises the
possibility of a truce between the federal government and Apple,
which have waged a public war over the propriety of the company
helping law enforcement access the data.
