For some perspective, Shane Harris reported today that Apple has unlocked phones for the authorities on 70 occasions since 2008. Which is to say, it's possible that TIm Cook's statement is a public relations maneuver in a high-profile case. But, hey - if this motivates Apple to draw the line and take a stand against building tunnels into people's private lives, that's great.
