I think the only way the house search warrant vs. phone search warrant comparison would work is if there was a way to know that someone used a warrant to sift through your data. You can know the police has searched your home because doing so requires physical access to the house. If there is a way to use a private key to access your data, anyone could use that key to access your data and you will never know about it. And that is really scary!
