Bingo!

The whole point of this DOJ "security theater" is to publicly shame Apple, even though the chances that this iPhone contains any interesting info are zero%.  Farook's OPSEC was good enough to destroy his other e-stuff; his *work-issued* cellphone he probably considered compromised from the get-go.

If the FBI were truly serious, it would have issued an NSL and unlocked this iPhone in secret; so the FBI/DOJ motives here are all too clear.
