There are a lot more than 5 people who can do what the FBI wants done. Your hypothetical doesn't really seem all that relevant.

I'm not sure you understand the word 'hypothetical'. The point is to explore the idea.

My point is that there is no need to round up anyone. There are plenty of coders who are happy to do the job in return for a fair salary.
