Innocent, guilty, what I want to know is how the government can turn corporations into their personal database service. It's one thing to pop a tape out of the CCTV deck, quite another to tell a company, "go out of your way to run this query. Don't have one pre-canned? Write one." Same with telling Apple to write phone-cracking software: compelled speech?

In summary, what's to keep Google from telling them, "go do your own footwork."?
