Suppose it was encrypted, how hard to brake would a reasonable, in this case on board, encryption be? I find it interesting, that Wikileaks was also able do decrypt the US Military video of the killed Reuter journalists.

Does it make sense to teach this to children? Just like "Smoking isn't good for your health."(which I believe worked for me) you could teach "Porn isn't good for you, if you want to enjoy sex."
