How are they going to do this? Can they enter his house and then search his computer and disks? Take anything and ask for his password to decrypt them? If they simply ask him, and he wouldn't want them to find these files, he could delete them or put them on an encrypted stick that they don't know about.

How does this work???

It works the same as any other contract works. You ask the other party to fulfill their obligations according to the contract they signed -- in this case, submitting their systems for review. If they refuse, then you take them to court for breach of contract.

You can give up many of your constitutional rights to other people or corporations. Like privacy. They could ask him for a password and he would either tell them or be fired.

Though not all Google employees sign this, just the Project X experimental ones.
