I don't know how it is in Germany, but in my country you pay for credit cards, and the amount you pay for the card determines how much insurance you have, as most all provide some type of travellers/medical/theft/etc. ty

It's very possible that this never registered high enough on the list of problems to deal with. It's likely that there are very few kindle fire owners that use the encryption.. which is what they say. The only reason I agree with

Waterboarding was always considered to be torture, the only time it wasn't "legally" considered such in the US was because of one person, John Woo, who redefined torture while working at the DoJ. This was in 2002 and all of h
