Re: Files are not testimony

"No, they can't. But there is nothing stopping them from breaking into the safe (if they can) to find evidence."

But what if they learn the safe is booby-trapped and will self-destruct if anyone other than the suspect opens it? NOW can they compel the suspect to open it under threat of Destruction of Evidence?

Guess how this can apply to an iPhone with a failsafe?
