Going back 175 years you would have to get a warrant to unlock a file cabinet and read secure papers. Pretty much the same thing.

NO, it’s not. If I coded that document in that file the government could not force me under penalty of fine and jail to decrypt it.

Fine, FBI, Police Department, get your search warrant for the device, and then go to the owner of the device and force them to unlock it. Don't involve a third-party to force them to change the technology for your convenience and put all of us at risk. If the owner refuses to unlock it, JAIL HIM UNTIL HE DOES!
