And be brought up for perjury and contempt of court too? No, thanks;
not when I can turn state's witness and get a lesser term for
handing over my key. (In point of fact, if I were actually doing
anything that needed to be hidden from the federal government by way
of encryption, I'd be putting some failsafes in, using distributed,
off-shore datawarehousing, and killswitches that activated at the
first sign of tampering, so that there wouldn't BE any way to
subpoena the data.)
