With a safe, as with any encrypted document, there are a finite number of keys. I think that invalidates the idea of possession of the password being important, at least from a "purely lawful" point of view.

Read/write access is basically physical access. Anyone with enough resources could accomplish physical access.

It's possible I'm being paranoid, but it seems like most of law is based on series of assumptions. It isn't a purely logical idea, which is why we have so much fun arguing about it. It is fundamentally the hope of writing down logic in a language that doesn't, unambiguously, contain it.
