I dont see it. Especially because they literally could copy the entire drive and have a room full of peons sift through it until the end of time for no discernable purpose with no guarantees of any sort of confidentiality.

They could just sell the info to cover budget deficits.
again, they have no right nor ability to break encrypted files
