Of course, I'm sure there are many people that would gladly take 10 years rather than whatever they would otherwise get if the evidence they had against themselves was decrypted...

"How about just deny theres anything there, then have one of those new programs where if u type in password wrong 3 times it auto deletes."They'll still be able to recover the deleted files, then they'll just have another go at it, this time without the "auto deleter" causing any problems.

@ VladDrac, thank you for clearing that up, I couldn't find what the law was. Much appreciated, and I'm willing to bet that someone would NOT have to give up there password.And to all the people who think the government uses laws like this just on "bad" people, your just ignorant and need to read up on the fact any power given to any government is ALWAYS misused against the population.
