It would force Apple todevise an ecryption program that currently does not exist for their customer-generated passcodes. It would force Apple to do this using Apple's resources, and at Apple's expense. It could not only damage one of Apple's key marketing positions, but potentially eviscerate their IP/trade secret technology.

I never cared for Apple or its products. But I'm with them on this fight.
Nothing you can do.
It's the inevitable NWO....
