A district court judge in Colorado has ordered a woman to decrypt her laptop's hard drive and turn it over to the courts. Apparently the court rejected the woman's 5th Amendment argument and has given her a one month dealine to turn over the unencrypted drive.
I conclude that the Fifth Amendment is not implicated by requiring production of the unencrypted contents of the Toshiba Satellite M305 laptop computer," Colorado U.S. District Judge Robert Blackburn ruled Monday. The judge ordered Fricosu to surrender an unencrypted hard drive by February 21.
