FBI accesses encrypted iPhone, drops legal action against Apple
From the Sydney Morning Herald
The US Justice Department has said it successfully accessed data stored on an encrypted iPhone used by one of the San Bernardino shooters and asked a court to withdraw an order compelling Apple to assist, according to a court filing.
The technology company fought a court order obtained by the FBI last month that required it to write new software to disable passcode protection and allow access to the phone used by one of the shooters, Rizwan Farook.
Apple declined immediate comment.

Do what comes naturally. Seethe and fume and throw a tantrum.
