Colorado federal Judge Robert Blackburn on Monday set a precedent with an order requiring that a woman decrypt data on the hard drive of her Toshiba Satellite M305 notebook by February 21.

The All Writs Act of 1789, which had already been used to compel phone companies in surveillance requests, was also valid with locked down storage.
