“to work only on Farook’s phone”
That may be how the warrant is written, but not how the technology works.
The ability to circumvent the 10 entry limit is generally applicable to all phones.
Once they have it, they will be able to use it on whoever they want, whenever they want.
If they were using a PKI system and produced a key, then it’d be applicable to that phone only. But that’s not the case here, nor is it what’s being asked for.
“That may be how the warrant is written, but not how the technology works.”
The technology needs to be changed to conform to the law, not the other way around.
A warrant has been issued to gather information that may or may not have some very valuable intelligence. Regardless of how the technology is written, it is legal.
“If they were using a PKI system and produced a key, then it’d be applicable to that phone only. But that’s not the case here, nor is it what’s being asked for.”
The warrant is quite clear.
