>It's important for people who are dissidents or engaging in criminal activity to be aware that their brain is more secure than their fingerprint, although that seems entirely obvious to anyone capable of maintaining a high security lifestyle. The problem with the brain is that it forgets. For example if you have an important piece of information that you encrypt with a long passphrase, you will likely have no problem decrypting it if you do so every day but if you don't use the passphrase for a few months, you probably won't remember it. However you probably will remember where you have the passphrase if you write it down and put it somewhere secret where nobody will be able to both find it and to know what it's for. IOW, don't hide the paper in your house.
