      MSGID: 2:221/360.0 5e152b34       PID: JamNNTPd/OS2 1.3 20191227       TID: GE/2 1.2       CHRS: UTF-8 2       TZUTC: 0200       Since border officers "may only examine what is stored within a device,       which includes, for example, photos, files, downloaded e-mails and other       media" [citation https://tinyurl.com/yeaxwn6o], would you have to allow       encrytped data to be revealed?              According to Border Security (a reality TV series that features Canada       Border Services officers going about their day-to-day duties) they       usually take the device away from you (after they request it to be       unlocked) and walk off with it to separate location to examine the       contents leaving you waiting outside.              Seems to me that at that point you have cooperated fully.              It seems to me that if your email/content were encrypted, then they       cannot compel you to unlock each and every item inside. I can't imagine       unlocking every pgp'd email. I fail too many times mistyping the       passphrase on a tiny screen.              For example, they examine your device, and find some messages that all       begin with the pgp armour tag. At that point they *have* examined the       content. Your encrypted data is safe.              Thoughts?              --- Thunderbird 2.0.0.24 (Windows/20100228)        * Origin: nntp://rbb.fidonet.fi - Lake Ylo - Finland (2:221/360.0)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 19/10 90/1 154/10 203/0 221/0 1 6 360 227/114 229/426       SEEN-BY: 229/1014 240/5832 249/206 317 400 280/464 5003 292/854 310/31       SEEN-BY: 317/3 322/757 342/200 396/45 423/81 120 712/848 770/1 2452/250       PATH: 221/360 1 280/464 229/426           |
