I agree. Even if they had reason to believe there would be incriminating evidence on said drive, wouldn't this fall under pleading the fifth? Also, if you just refuse, and they lack any other evidence, their case goes away, even if you aren't cooperative. I wonder if they'd throw that under a different charge or something, though. Probably a lot of ways around this one. Legal tricksies and all.
