Indefinite prison for suspect who won’t decrypt hard drives, US government says
The best part of this whole story is the unintended consequence of attack. Don&#x27;t like someone, encrypt a zip drive with drivel, toss it in his car and call the cops. Say you saw him looking at what could be kiddie porn. The guy doesn&#x27;t know the password. Life in prison. No excuse.<p>This applies not merely to Bob in Accounting that&#x27;s a dick, but to everyone: Congress! Start sniping political enemies. A jump drive here. A hard drive there. Soon, you could have 6 or so Congressional individuals going to jail for a child porn ring. The Feds would think it&#x27;s a great prisoner dilemma. No one&#x27;s turning on each other. Again, anonymous tip claiming that the right honorable Representative Duggans was watching kiddie porn late at night in his office. The same tipster told the police that while he was jacking it he thanked Representative O&#x27;Connel for the present over the phone (make sure to wait for an actual call so their is evidence).<p>Sure eventually all of this will die down. Until then, for $100 bucks and a few hours you can sit back, eat some popcorn and watch the system implode. Do it right and you&#x27;ll get years of fun for everyone.
