They have a warrant for the contents of his drives.
- Zigurd 11y agoThey have the content of his drives. The content is indistinguishable from random numbers. Same as if they found printed cyphertext in his home.

- Zigurd 11y agoHow so? Had they found printed cyphertext in his house, would he be in jail? Or, more cogently, one sheaf of random numbers and one of cyphertext? The point is, the whole "lock" analogy is wrong. Encryption is not an unbreakable lock, nor is it a game-changer. It's been there for hundreds of years at least, as long as there have been cyphers.
