Why can't the government serve warrants to give up their private keys?
I don't really see the State's argument against encryption except in the case that they want to break encrypted information without due process.

But then, neither did breaking down the door and ransacking the obvious physical target pre-internet days always work. And everyone understood a suspect had no obligation to tell the feds where he hid the goods.
