Carl,

I am new to the thread.

Your thought is the same as what has been rolling around in my head. Based on my limited understanding of the situation, the first thing that struck me as odd was that the FBI was reported as asking for a tool. That is materially different than asking for data.

That is my knee jerk assessment of the issue. The unspoken issue seems to be about how FBI's counsel phrased their request.
