It's amazing how many people don't get this. The Congress makes laws, which are the tools at the FBI's disposal. If they didn't give them this particular tool, then too bad: they have to figure out how to do their job without this tool.

And the DFBI did not address the gross incompetence shown by them, when they asked the County to reset the phone. If they didn't even know the consequences of that request, how can they predict the (supposed no) consequences of their request to Apple?
