A Florida congressman has introduced a new bill that would forbid federal agencies from purchasing Apple products until the company cooperates with the federal court order to assist the unlocking of a seized iPhone 5C associated with the San Bernardino terrorist attack.

In a statement released on Thursday, Rep. David Jolly (R-Fla.) blasted Apple.

"Taxpayers should not be subsidizing a company that refuses to cooperate in a terror investigation that left 14 Americans dead on American soil," he said. "Who did the terrorist talk to? Who did he message with? Did he go to a safe house? Is there information on the phone that might prevent a future attack on US soil? Following the horrific events of September 11, 2001, every citizen and every company was willing to do whatever it took to side with law enforcement and defeat terror. It’s time Apple shows that same conviction to further protect our nation today."

Last month, Apple was given a controversial court order to create a customized firmware that would enable investigators to brute force a seized iPhone 5C and get past its passcode. Apple has vowed to fight the order in court, and the company is set to appear before a judge later this month.

At least for now, Jolly’s bill is unlikely to advance very far in a Congress that can barely agree on the time of day; GovTrack gives it a 1 percent chance of passage. On a related note, there are currently two state bills in California and New York that seek to ban sales of phones with unbreakable encryption.

Plus, while Apple does provide discounts for federal government employees, military personnel, and their families, it’s unlikely that Apple has made headway into overtaking the entrenched legacy sales of BlackBerry.

The new legislation was announced the same day that many tech companies, including Twitter, Airbnb, eBay, and many others that have lined up behind Apple in their own court filings.

Earlier in the day, Apple also published a support letter by a San Bernardino man whose wife was shot and severely injured during the December 2015 terrorist attack.

President Barack Obama is known to use an iPad that he was given in 2011 by then-CEO Steve Jobs himself.
