   That's a good point. I read an article recently about an IT specialist who got   
   convicted of possessing child pornography. Although his hard drives were   
   encrypted, the judge ordered him to turn over the passwords to decrypt them.   
   Self incrimination? The judge says its not because he is already assumed to be   
   guilty! So much for innocent until proven guilty.   
      
   Of course, there were other things that gave him away, such as his download   
   logs in his P2P program (which also pointed to his encrypted drives). From what   
   I can see though, it seems that encrypted files are safer than encrypted   
   partitions since they are harder to spot. A cool trick to try is to encrypt a   
   file or archive and concatenate it to a jpeg. Just make sure that the filesize   
   doesn't get too huge or even a kid will know something is special about that   
   file.
