Just the thought of what could happen if you receive one such letter is probably enough to deter most people from not complying.

I submit most people worthy of receiving national security letters are willing to contemplate serious personal harm before violating their convictions. Especially now that Cook won the staring contest.

You would be wrong...

Cook was not served with a NSL, at least not one he "won a staring contest over"

Tim Cook, Apple, in the San Berandio Case was served with a standard, in the open, court order, not a NSL, not a FISA Court order... this was just a run of the mill public order.
