Sure, the question is if they could make SuperSafes Inc. send someone to
personally disable the booby trap, or if they could only request the existing
information on how to do it themselves.
What if they guy at SuperSafes quit instead of disabling the booby trap, would
the government then force him to go back to work?
The difference is between getting access to existing information vs. forcing a
company not involved in the crime in any way to do something they don't want to
and aren't in the business of doing.
The ability of the courts to compel anyone to do anything is a bit too much
power in my opinion.
