Apple an the Feds

[timbuk2]

It's not that i would be affected, i don't even live in the us. i just wonder how, since every us-company has to collaborate with the governement.

is there a login for investigators? icloud.com/investigate?
where one can type in an apple id and see his/her position Immeadatly?
how does it work with iMessage?

and what about non-us countries? don't they have to go by an us-judge to have access to ones imessage-library?
