Re: I guess that means it's time to add a time component to the encryption

No successful logins after X days means the key is destroyed and the data cannot be recovered.

Or another password, that will destroy data (wipe or re-encrypt with random key).

Although for forensic investigation all the work would be happening on a copy rather than original so it would be fairly easy to spot what happened. End result would likely be in contempt anyway.
