Thanks for that summary. I am (very) pro privacy/encryption but I can see this is more akin to: "The defendant was carrying a shovel, a weapon and rubber gloves in the trunk of his car" -- not itself an offence unless they can also prove they were intending to do something nasty with these things.

  Subsection 3 is especially relevant when it comes to intent: "Where a person is charged with an offence under this section, proof that he had with him any article made or adapted for use in committing a burglary or theft shall be evidence that he had it with him for such use."
