AG Barr and Apple Face Off over Phone of Alleged Pensacola Shooter
------------------------------------------------------------------

Attorney General William Barr is demanding that Apple unlock the phones
of the alleged gunman of a deadly shooting at the Naval Air Station in
Pensacola, Florida, escalating tensions between the Justice Department
and Apple in a legal battle over personal privacy. Last month, Saudi Air
Force officer Mohammed Alshamrani killed three sailors and wounded eight
others on the base. Barr yesterday declared the shooting "an act of
terrorism." Twenty-one Saudi military cadets who were training in the
U.S. are now being expelled from the country and sent back to Saudi
Arabia, following an investigation launched after the Pensacola
shooting.
