It would seem reasonable to be able to FOIA the encryption keys in US locations where it is encrypted.

Doubtful.

I'd fully expect other exemptions to apply if you FOIAed the White House's SSL private key or something.

Iām Canada, usually you have to give everything to the FOIA department, and then they redact it.
I think that would make the keyholders soil themselves if they had to send the keys over even for a second like that.

FOIA is a federal law. Each state has its own law. For example, Texas's is the Texas Public Information Act (TPIA). The standards could vary state by state.

All of them have pretty broad law enforcement exemptions.

Even if you could, how long do you think your FOIA request would take to get processed vs. the rekeying frequency of the encryption?
