You can be forced to do lots of things by law enforcement, like give up your password which is something other than your fingerprint.

> The court's ruling noted that FBI forensic examiners were unable to get past TrueCrypt's encryption (and therefore were unable to access the data) unless Doe either decrypted the drives or gave the FBI the password, and the court then ruled that Doe's Fifth Amendment right to remain silent legally prevented the Government from making him or her do so.

So it seems like the law is a bit ambiguous on this front.
