Apple Encryption Engineers, if Ordered to Unlock iPhone, Might Resist

If the F.B.I. wins its court fight to force Apple's help in
unlocking an iPhone, the agency may run into yet another
roadblock: Apple's engineers. Apple employees are already
discussing what they will do if ordered to help law enforcement
authorities. Some say they may balk at the work, while others
may even quit their high-paying jobs rather than undermine the
security of the software they have already created, according to
more than a half-dozen current and former Apple employees.
Among those interviewed were Apple engineers who are involved in
the development of mobile products and security, as well as
former security engineers and executives.
