US District Ct. Says Defendant Must Provide Decrypted Data
An anonymous reader writes "If you're planning on traveling internationally with a laptop, consider the following: District Court Overturns Magistrate Judge in Fifth Amendment Encryption Case. Laptop searches at the border have been discussed many times previously. This is the case where a man entered the country allegedly carrying pornographic material in an encrypted file on his laptop. He initially cooperated with border agents during the search of the laptop then later decided not to cooperate citing the Fifth Amendment. Last year a magistrate judge ruled that compelling the man to enter his password would violate his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination. Now in a narrow ruling, US District Judge William K. Sessions III said the man had waived his right against self-incrimination when he initially cooperated with border agents."
sohp notes that "the order is not that he produce the key — just that he provide an unencrypted copy."
Unfortunately, at least when it comes to religion, it IS morally right to crusade and try to convert people.
Catholics say their's is the only true God, the others are fake, join with us ...
Muslims say their's is the only true God, the others are fake, join with us ...
Hindus say their's is the only true God(s) ... they have like 5000 but what the hell, the others are fake, join with us ...
The Sith say they are the true Gods, Obi Wan, join with us ... (in Christopher Lee's voice)
Awww, I got nothing ... just ignore this ;-)
However, on the other hand don't for a minute believe that society needs to bend over for you as well
