Unless receiving/storing unexplainable random bytes becomes illegal (like "forgetting" your password).

  Right that's why you send random bytes to other people. You're forcing everyone else to receive or store random bytes. Thus rendering any actual enforcement of a law forbidding possession of encrypted data (or random bytes) nigh-impossible. If someone gets charged for possession of random bytes, send the prosecutor and judge a bunch of random bytes and see if they're still intent on moving forward with charges.

    But how do you force other people to accept your illegal random bytes? If people actually risked legal penalties for accepting them, I imagine that spam filters would get much stricter about deleting attachments from unknown senders, for example.
