>I'm not certain this has been thought through sufficiently. If an organization is in a position to confiscate the camera from a journalist, they're almost certainly ALSO in a position to extract the encryption password from the journalist. Its rather odd to say someone hasn't thought something through when you haven't had any first-hand interactions with them (unless you have had them.. in which case you should detail them). Could you tell us how much time you spent thinking about it? The article is second hand reporting and is editorialized so you're only arguing against a straw-man. If you read the source document, the petition broadly speaks about "encryption features". One of those features, stated via example, is encrypting the data at source on the storage media. The features haven't been specified in any detail since a petition is not a technical specification. You're simply assuming what they are and aren't asking for. Your own solution has deep flaws, as you yourself acknowledge. I trust the irony of the situation isn't lost on you ! :)
