I think the crux of this is allowing an agency access to not only the information they're looking for specifically, but allowing them access to all data on a HD. Sure, if my HD is filled with nothing but [x]porn, fine, but if the HD contains my emails, browsing history, etc. and maybe a small folder of [x]porn to boot, giving a password to the entire shebang may indeed violate my right to not incriminate myself, because I may be way more into [y]porn, which they never would've known had I not given them my password.

Ultimately, a HD is a lot more fluid than a safe or a bank box - and a lot more personal. You put specific objects in the former, the latter is an ever-changing container of your life.

So it goes.
