What mechanism is Apple using to count 48 hours? If it's purely clock based, I imagine a stingray device could continually feed the wrong time to the phone until such time the fingerprint is provided.
So, the DOJ found an exploit (legal loophole) and don't want to reveal it for fear that it may be patched (fixed by legislation)? Jesus Fucking Christ what bullshit.
Don't CableCARDs already enable this? I've been using CableCARDs in my Tivo for about 10 years now. I also had one in my TV for a short time. The only thing I couldn't get at first was PPV, but who cares about that in this age of on-demand rentals from Amazon and Apple. Now there's a solution for TiVo, but I haven't bothered.
