If they had reasonable cause to believe you had knowledge of the key and
were refusing to divulge it under direct order of the court you would be
held in contempt until you were very old and gray.
Yes - the 5th Amendment is useless like all the other consitutional "rights".
The 5th is meant to apply ONLY to persons being accussed of a crime, it is
not nor was it ever meant to protect non-accussed persons from turning over
evidence of criminal acts.
