Oblahma wants to see inside your computer.

Yet another vile treaty is involved.

jeebus... and how reliable is the RT?

[Knightskye]

Would they have to have physical access of your computer to search through it?

Are they looking at online material or your hard drive?

Yeah Richard Stallman. May not agree with him about Kucinich but Stallman is bad ass.

I don't think this has anything to do with copyrighted works, as mentioned in the video clip. It's all about communication. Who you're talking to, what you're saying, and what you're doing on the internet.

Use truecrypt to make something hidden/invisible. Out of site, out of mind. With a visible encrypted file, you can be made to comply or go to jail.

What ever happened to the 4th amendment? This is unamerican!!

Beware that under certain circumstances, they may not need it. For one thing, RAM tends to retain most of its data across reboots (http://it.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=08/02/21/1543234) and will hold some amount of charge for many seconds after power is cut. If hit with a charge of compressed air, they can retain their data for even longer. There are also a number of commercially-available devices (intended for law enforcement) to shunt power from a UPS onto a running PC, allowing its removal without cutting its power.

Then you have to worry about Van Eck phreaking (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Van_Eck_phreaking)... got a Faraday cage? Your computer leaks data all over the place, and techniques using off the shelf components can capture (http://it.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=09/03/12/2038213&tid=172) your keystrokes (http://it.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=09/03/26/1947246).

If they don't get you that way, what might they think they know about your Internet habits? It's now a matter of public record (http://cryptogon.com/?p=877) that the NSA has massive packet sniffers tapped into parts of Internet backbone.

I love crypto, but nothing is perfect.
