I can't imagine        AA> unlocking every pgp'd email. I fail too many times mistyping the        AA> passphrase on a tiny screen.               AA> For example, they examine your device, and find some messages that all        AA> begin with the pgp armour tag. At that point they *have* examined the        AA> content. Your encrypted data is safe.               AA> Thoughts?              I would avoid the situation, if I had anything to hide. Don't take your device       through the border, or don't put anything encrypted on it. Put what you need       somewhere in the cloud, that's not directly accesible from your device...              Being right, doesn't help you if you are being held for severall hours and you       miss apointments because of that untill they acknowledge you are in your       right...              Bye, Wilfred.              --- FMail-lnx64 2.1.0.18-B20170815        * Origin: FMail development HQ (2:280/464)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 90/1 154/10 203/0 221/0 227/114 229/426 1014 240/5832       SEEN-BY: 249/206 317 400 280/464 5003 292/854 310/31 317/3 322/757       SEEN-BY: 342/200 396/45 423/120 712/848 770/1 2452/250       PATH: 280/464 229/426           |
