To the best of my knowledge, all a safe does is delay entrance to what’s in it.
.gov has safe crackers, which can get in if they want, and your property (the safe) is damaged by doing so.
That the government coerced the company to provide the combination doesn’t surprise me. Your defense against .gov is in the courts afterwards, and that’s pretty minimalist.
The safe also slows down access for thieves but can’t stop them - hopefully it slows them enough to disrupt the attempt, but it might not.
I don’t have a liberty safe, but the one I do have has an electric lock, and while they state you can change it, I suspect like anything electronic, there is a back door… as the way they wrote it was if you change the combination, we will not be able to open it for you (not can’t, won’t).
You have something you don’t want accessed easily, it’s better to use a safe deposit box. It would require its own warrant as it’s a different location. But it still is accessible if they want to.
