It would be extremely challenging. For example, we use the digital forensic tools to gather information. For example, we all carry computers in our pockets. At the end of the day, these are now minicomputers. It's not like a laptop computer, where you can remove the hard drive, analyze that hard drive and put it back in. The only way into this phone and to know what's in this phone is to, literally, through this port—which is how Cellebrite works—connect to the phone. It makes a digital copy, a forensic evidentiary valid copy of that phone, and then Cellebrite allows us to analyze it and to preserve it for investigation purposes, for Federal Court purposes, etc.
