Something people seem to forget is 'the two key solution'.

One key unlocks the data.

The other one unlocks the data thus complying with the law but immediately starts a process burried in the HDD/SSD firmware to erase the data.

Spooks have been aware of this for years. After all, their agents would use it to stop the people they are spying on getting the data.

As with every solution there are weaknesses.

Thus the battle goes on, and on, and on
