I strongly support American businesses to do the right thing, and which is in their best interests. It's not the governments right or position to order a company to undermine or compromise its business model to achieve a temporary solution to a complex long term security issue.
Cyber security and preventing cybercrime should be a hallmark of both the government and private business to solve. Even if that means in this case that those answers will not be found.
Do better police work and track suspects and data back to the phone in question. Better to prove probable cause than fish to support reasonable suspicion. The FBI hasn't done that IMHO.
The only thing that can come from creating a "skeleton key" to Pandora's box is misery and future compromise - even compromise to government systems relying on iOS security.
I support Apple to do what they can legally or morally do and to stop when it reaches across 4th Amendment issues of the company and/or users of that product.
