Does anyone know what happens if Apple loses engineers over this? Not that it's likely, but I could see someone saying "I came here to build secure systems, not break them". Does the government bear costs to replace or retrain? If enough quit, can the government compel them to stay to complete the task?
This is an excellent question. Congressman Darrel Issa had some great questions about this during today's hearing. Basically he hinted at the fact that how far can the government go to ensure they did their job correctly.
