"This is a significant test for the battle between law enforcement and technology.”
Holding the Apple case in secret makes the legal process more cloak and dagger, less scales and sword.
It makes it harder to challenge the UK government's order to break encryption and creates a dangerous precedent.
This case sets the stage for more shady encryption-breaking orders to be made.

China conducted tests of new landing barges designed for unloading armored vehicles from civilian ships onto unprepared sections of the coast.
Several of these specialized vessels, equipped with extended ramps more than 120 meters long, have been spotted at the Guangzhou shipyard.
These barges, which function as floating piers, allow military equipment, fuel tankers and logistics to move from ships to beaches without the need for ports

Andrzej Duda: US nuclear weapons in Poland would be 'deterrent' for Russia
Andrzej Duda tells the BBC's Jeremy Bowen he is confident Donald Trump has a plan to handle Russia.Jeremy Bowen (BBC News)
Elon Musk's favorite supposed data expert, who he's retweeted at least a dozen times, claims she can only process 60,000 rows of data before her "hard drive overheats".
Perhaps someone should rescue her from where she's apparently stuck twenty years in the past, which is the only possible explanation for those hardware limitations and the apparent lack of access to cloud compute.
Unless, of course, she's just completely making shit up.
