Put down the pitchforks people. This is standard operating procedure and you're not gonna win any arguments opposing it. If the government gets a search warrant for the contents of a safe in your home, they're perfectly entitled to crack it open with whatever techniques they discover. The now-moot case against Apple was about whether they can compel the safe-maker's assistance, which is a very different issue. This is the protection against search and seizure that you're entitled to within the US: >The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects,[a] against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.
