I'm of the same frame of mind.. There was an article from earlier this year about the suspect in a child-porn case who successfully encrypted his machine which has completely prevented prosecution: http://ottawacitizen.com/news/local-news/0407-password http://ottawacitizen.com/news/local-news/0407-password As tools become better, is the price we pay for strong encryption that criminals who are mildly technical can get away with their crimes? That's hard to stomach if it's the 'right' answer..

It's really tricky. I don't want people to be forced to self-incriminate and give up their password. I don't want encryption to be banned. I don't want people to only be permitted to use government-approved encryption with escrow. I don't even want intelligence agencies to research vulnerabilities in existing cryptographic algorithms and implementations, because they have no reason to not use that for dragnet surveillance. But obviously, I don't want CP or terrorism subjects to evade detection and prosecution because of encrypted drives or communications.
