Well, it seems that you making efforts to keep your information secure is now considered criminal activity. Minnesota court takes dim view of encryption.
A Minnesota appeals court has ruled that the presence of encryption software on a computer may be viewed as evidence of criminal intent.
The case was about a turd who had kiddie porn on his computer, as well as a copy of Pretty Good Privacy. While none of the porn was encrypted, the fact that he had PGP and what it did was introduced as evidence of wrongdoing.
It seems that I should encrypt my personal information, just on principle. I have a Constitutional right to be secure in my papers, and that means KEEP YOUR DAMN FINGERS OFF MY STUFF. My thumb drive came with a secure vault, I think I'll start using it.
