So basically the US government can unlock any BitLocker encrypted device, anywhere.

Which is to say BitLocker isn't really doing the thing it's supposed to be doing.

If you have your bitlocker drive connected to an online Microsoft account: yes.

If not, no, a local account is still technically safe. For now.
