When the original case surfaced I was wondering the same. If they had (real) evidence that your encrypted hard drives have CP, then I'd be okay putting you in jail (;

However, if that was the case then they wouldn't need to decrypt the drives, so this whole case smells quite a bit.

AFAIK there is a similar situation in the airport immigration; if you are an US citizen and don't want to provide a password for an encrypted device, they'll make you have a bad time, then throw the device and then let you in. Same for foreigners except with a flight back instead of letting them in. The bad time they give you basically depends on the immigration officer.
