I'm genuinely wondering how someone could implement a system that functions like a dead man's hand where the key to recovery (despite entering the valid password as required by law) which lies outside of the jurisdiction of that government, or relies on the data being unavailable for a long stretch of time. >"If I live in Ireland, am I screwed when the stress of being detained causes me to forget my very long, complicated, and infrequently entered password? " As for this part, I've become a cynic after learning so much about how courts actually function on a daily basis. There really isn't anything stopping a judge from simply finding you in contempt of court - even if you legitimately did lose your password. Ultimately, if the judge wants to, they can easily drag you through the mud and you have virtually no recourse. Edit: I know Apple has a feature that disables FaceID that acts like a 'panic' button. How do the courts deal with that?
