For anyone unaware, the TSA lock master key was leaked by including a photo of an actual master key in a newspaper article about said locks. I don't think encryption keys shared with police/govt. will be any safer.

Also, IIRC some of the keys were reverse engineered even with no government negligence necessary.

Everyone knows that encryption master keys will go exactly the same way -- they'll leak eventually (maybe there'll be a newspaper article with a picture of the master key).
