FBI warns it could demand Apple's iPhone code
The FBI on Thursday threatened to raise the stakes in its legal battle with Apple (AAPL), suggesting it might demand access to the iPhone maker's source code and secret electronic signature used to verify the legitimacy of its software updates.
The FBI currently is seeking to force Apple to write a special version of its iOS software with some security features disabled so that the bureau can try to crack the passcode on an iPhone 5C used by deceased San Bernardino shooter Syed Rizwan Farook. Apple is challenging the order, issued by U.S. Magistrate Judge Sheri Pym last month.

Team Obama already lost in trying to unconstitutionally force Apple to write code (indentured servitude?) and now team Obama wants to force them to give up trade secrets. This is out of control.
