I seem to recall reading recently that there has been a challenge in the
US about the 5th amendment right to not self-incriminate and how it
applies to not being required to turn over passwords. I don't think
there's a legal precedent for it right now, but it makes sense to me (as
a non-lawyer) that that right to not incriminate oneself would extend to
not providing a password to data that might be used to incriminate you.
