Last time I saw a number thrown around it was only 2%. Only 2% of search warrant requests were denied. It's pretty well known that most judges just rubber stamp whatever for the police. The whole point of judicial review is to prevent this from happening.
no choice but to comply
You can't turn over what you don't have. Liberty got themselves into the business of keeping a database of master combinations. Imagine you, the customer, finding out today that these guys were holding these codes. Was there disclosure? How about the customers that were told "no" for help and were forced to hire a locksmith for lost combinations when the company could have coughed them up at any time for free?
what kind of dumbass opsec failure did the guy do that let the FBI know ahead of time what kind of safe he had?
It's called a sneak and peek. Feds break in to your house when no one's there and start documenting what they see. They can even trash the place and make it look like you were robbed if they have to, or just to take whatever. They need a "valid warrant" to do this but, heh, see the first point.
