Suspect Must Unlock Laptop's Files

This story interests me as I have a strong interest in Information Technology and the US Constitution/Amandments:

A Colorado woman charged with real-estate fraud has been ordered to meet with FBI agents Monday and unlock private files on her laptop computer or face possible contempt charges in federal district court in Denver.
The files are protected with the use of encryption software, which allows computer users to transform plain text into symbols indecipherable to anyone who doesn't have a password.
