Surely that is the job of the NSA, not Apple? It would be the criminal offense of unlawful interception if they did it in the UK. Not that UK law is much good, but "they" do need a warrant to look at content for that sort of purpose. Except sometimes one warrant can cover a hell of a lot of content... but not that. And Apple couldn't get such a warrant anyway, it could only be issued to Police or similar. Peter Fairbrother
