On the other hand, I am personally quite convinced by the argument I’ve see made by Rob Graham that, in fact, the willingness of Liberty Safe to provide a way to unlock a given customer safe by LE (modulo a properly formed warrant, crucially, I will concede, a step that might have been missing in this instance) is actually a favor to their customers, because the alternative is destructive access to the contents of the safe by LE.

In other words, it’s not that Liberty made possible something (access to the contents of a given safe) that was otherwise impossible, but that they made it possible in a non-destructive way.
