Generally they would just take the factory: "nationalization". You try getting a businessperson to work for free.

That's an interesting thought.

I wonder how safe the internal apple devs are that could build what the FBI is demanding. If the FBI can identify them, they might "disappear" if the FBI doesn't get their way from Apple.

But nah, our government would never do that, right? Only China and Russia, etc. Wish I really believed that.
