I do not doubt the claim, and believe it as much as you. However, I have always wondered: how long does it take a skilled technician to do this? Is it assume to assume, if we talk luks/dmcrypt for a filesystem or something per-file like GnuPG, is the passphrase, since it is small, just stored in the same block of memory contiguously? Is it hard to find, ASLR or not?

And there are several techniques to identify encryption keys and vastly reduce the search space for these, making it rather fast to extract. This paper describes (and implements) a few of these (Chapter "Key Identification"): http://cryptome.org/0003/RAMisKey.pdf http://cryptome.org/0003/RAMisKey.pdf
