    The problem isn’t that they handed it over. The feds had a warrant, they had no choice. The problem is that they had anything to hand over.

    While that is indeed… completely expected, Its not a very safe encryption to begin with

      This is not really a weakness in the bitlocker encryption but in the TPM used to store the secrets if you set it up like that.
