Re: so Desperation

"The difference is that when such a sumbag's ext HDD is decrypted, they seemingly stand a good chance of being jailed. Whilst an honest ordinary upstanding member of society such as yourself wouldn't."

This assumes that governments are steady-state, which is often not the case. Today's fine upstanding citizen can quite easily become tomorrow's undesirable as the winds of change flow through the corridors of state.
