Or you can make sure nobody can access your data. Truecrypt, anyone ?

  This is why my next phone will be compatible with Whispercore (http://whispersys.com/whispercore.html http://whispersys.com/whispercore.html) and hopefully my next Tablet too. This is also why I automatically encrypt all of my incoming email with my public pgp key on the mail server. So any mail sat on my phone/laptop/server is encrypted with my password protected private pgp key (https://grepular.com/Automatically_Encrypting_all_Incoming_Email https://grepular.com/Automatically_Encrypting_all_Incoming_E...) I'm in the UK, so unfortunately they can demand that I give up my encryption keys and passwords and charge me if I choose to refuse, but at least it will slow them down enough so I can get a lawyer involved. And at least I have the choice of refusing.

    >I'm in the UK, so unfortunately they can demand that I give up my encryption keys and passwords and charge me if I choose to refuse do they have the right to scan your brain if you forgot the password or produce the wrong one under the stress of the arrest (my hands shake, heart races and i have hard time finding insurance card lying in plain view in glove compartment even when i'm having a traffic stop, less hard to imagine how i'd feel when/if i'd be "arrested for questioning")?

      No but they will send someone to jail if they refuse to give up the password. Think of it as a contempt charge. If they still can't remember after a few weeks or months, they can be charged again, go back to jail, and then repeat the process until they don't feel like dealing with the situation anymore (theoretically, it could turn into a life sentence composed of multiple smaller sentences).
