Let's go off the deep end, shall we, and speculate? Consciousness (the process that manages your evidence) is already encrypted. It's encrypted by quantum events occurring in the brain. The going conjecture is that microtubules in brain cells provide a latticework to maintain and force collapse of quantum states which somehow drive neuron activity. Regardless if you believe that or not, it is now known that brains are storing information in DNA and that DNA processes appear to be governed by quantum events. It's a reasonably palatable conjecture which may be testable in the next few years, and it's speculation for the hell of it here anyway.
Having essentially hardware equipped encryption, you brain ends up being completely unique and probably uncopyable in total from a quantum level process, given it lives half here and, ahem, half there. Any connection to it by a non-quantum devices in reality, especially high speed ones, are probably a bad idea as it increases the exposure surface area beyond what nature has likely already secured. Given your brain is reprogrammable, it's probably not a good idea to hook up weird shit to it until we know more about how the universe and it work. That includes any shit a government asks you to hook up to yourself now and again when you pass through its borders.
The 5th amendment being out of date is the least of our problems. Our government in the US, in its valiant attempt to protect us, has somehow decided it needs to keep increasing the efficiency of protection in response to what appear to be escalating abilities with the bad guys. The problem is, of course, is that eliminating all suffering is completely impossible, and that the idea of what is a decent amount of suffering to endure is constantly shifting as it's being squabbled over by people infected with angry cooperative memes...memes which have forgotten that this country was founded on freedom to do whatever you wanted, when you wanted to do it, as long as you weren't shitting on your neighbor when you did it.
Frankly, I'm more concerned about cloud services nowadays than phones. Seems as if a phone is just a viewport to the cloud and with so many services and apps accessing my phone's data (seems like every day another apps asks for more data) that the exposure area of my phone's cloud footprint is probably easier to hack than the phone itself.
