The Clipper chip was an attempt by the gov't to have access to everybody's encrypted information by forcing them to use an encryption chip which had a private key accessible by the gov't at all times. It is analogous to the gov't attempting to seize somebody's Bitcoins, it was a failure with the Clipper chip and it would be a failure with Bitcoin. Unless the government is torturing you, there is no way for the to steal your private key which you use to sign Bitcoin transactions.
