Apple would merely extract the data and send the data only to the Federal government.

problem with that scenario is called "chain of Custody". Unless it's done under federal supervision any "evidence" found will be tainted.

More troubling is if the feds get their way and force Apple to comply, it sets a dangerous precedent for the Gov. to force the same type of compliance from anyone for pretty much anything.
