That's it - end of story. Apple has been assured that they will not have to divulge how they did it and they can demand any other assurances they want. It will not apply to other phones and the phone in question will remain in their possession.

What else do you need? It seems to me that 9/11 rocked America to it's roots and you have still not recovered the sense of the nation that you were and still are. All this talk of privacy is nonsense - we all accept that the government can and will listen into conversations if it thinks it necessary. What is at issue here is an attempt to listen into previous conversations of a known terrorist - they were not alone.
No, the problem is this country is probably polarized the way it was at the time of the Civil War. Many think the Govt is public enemy #1 and conspiracy theories rule. I mean, when a huge amount of folks believe the President is some muslim illegal alien who hijacked the election what more needs to be said.
