We oppose this order, which has implications far beyond the legal case at hand" he wrote.

An exclusive poll for USA Today by Survey Monkey Showed the public siding with the government, with 51% of 1093 people polled supporting the FBI.


--On Friday, the Department of Justice escalated the battle, with a filing that attempted to force Apple to comply with the FBI request.

“Apple’s current refusal to comply with the court’s order, despite the technical feasibility of doing so, instead appears to be based on its concern for its business model and public brand marketing strategy,” the department said.

Later in the day, Apple spoke to reporters, and said the Apple ID on the phone had been changed less than 24 hours after government took possession of the device. Had that not happened, a backup of information the government was seeking may have been possible. Apple also said it had been working with the government since the initial requests came in, recommending four different ways to recover the data without building the backdoor.
