I'm glad this got dropped. Encryption issues are certainly going to come to a head. I'm interesting if we're going to see more cases coming out of Australia with their new encryption laws. What will happen if someone refused to unlock an LUKS encrypted drive. Will LUKS be banned in Australia unless people install a government key?


And then the police harassed them until he moved away. Department of Justice indeed.
