Why do you think it'd be obvious to you and me that a disk has multiple encrypted views? Contempt carries a burden of proof. If the guy has two encrypted volumes, one with a bunch of hardcore adult porn and the other with a bunch of kiddie porn, how does his unlocking the first one give you a 'preponderance of evidence' that he's obstructing justice or disobeying the court? It becomes a he-said-she-said with the CBP agent, your word against his.
