I feel like anyone with a functional brain can see this is a fifth amendment violation.
- seanhunter 9y agoAlthough I'm sympathetic with the side I think you're on, the legal issue at stake here is much more complex than you are giving credit for, and reasonable people can disagree about this. Courts have apparently found in the past that disclosing a physical key is not a 5th amendment violation whereas disclosing a code (eg the combination to a safe) is. The EFF is apparently of the mind that this is a violation. There's a decent writeup of a different case that raises the same issue here http://www.outsidethebeltway.com/the-fifth-amendment-privacy-and-computer-passwords/ http://www.outsidethebeltway.com/the-fifth-amendment-privacy...
