I just want to point out that lots of HN recently has been saying "Apple would NEVER deal with the FBI, there's too much risk of a leak!".. and yet, with the example of what happened to Manning, Snowden (ETC) -- would you, with a 6 figure salary, want to tell the world of misdeeds when you could toil away comfortably?
"So obvious no one will ever notice"
Apple removed their warrant canary about a year ago timed with press releases about "revamping their privacy policy for better security and user happiness" and a bunch of marketing bullshit. What I saw was the guarantees that they had done everything they could to protect your data was gone, replaced by "we'll follow the law" AKA they will screw you over willingly if they need to.

Also, the FBI is NOT dumb. "Poor legal council" was mentioned in this thread. With their budget, why would you not assume they have Grade AAA legal council?
