@janefoo Not seeing how breaking the laws of physics has anything to do with it. Are you saying that there is no way the NSA possesses computers that are more advanced than anything publicly available?James Bamford. Google that and read some of his books. The NSA had computers that could run petaflops in the mid-'90s, that was not publicly achieved until 2008. You have no idea what the NSA can or cannot do.Besides if they wanted to but could not crack your pass (or if it would cost too much or take too long) they have other ways to get it. s**t they actually formed another "agency" to do just that.<a class="user" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Special_Collections_Service">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Special ...</a>

Worthless. If law enforcement wants to see your HD and you don't give up the password, you sit in a jail cell until you cooperate.

Yes, it's called TrueCrypt and it's free.

Sorry, but even NSA can't break the laws of physics.

Also, unless you're a terrorist, NSA probably isn't wasting their time to decrypt your porn.

The trouble with hardware encryption is how do you know that it doesn't contain a backdoor? If it does the encryption is effectively worthless.Anyone remember this? <a class="user" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clipper_chip">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clipper_chip</a>
