In Brooklyn US Magistrate Judge James Orenstein was asked to issue an AWA to force Apple to break an iPhone password. He writes:
"It is thus clear that the government is relying on the AWA as a source of authority that is legislative in every meaningful way: something that can be cited as a basis for getting the relief it seeks in case after case without any need for adjudication of the particular circumstances of an individual case."[1][2]

Hopefully the Californian courts will agree.
