The feds were worried a long time ago but full disk encryption (or any encryption really) was not adopted by the public. The barrier to entry was too high. Only now is this odd relationship (encryption is ok but only when it isn't commonly used) going to have to play out in our legal system and culture, and it will be super interesting to see how we decide as a society what the limits of this technology are.
