US government: We can jail you indefinitely for not decrypting your data

I have a shelf full of old disks that I've saved just in case I need to boot something that doesn't recognize one of these new-fangled giga-byte drives. No idea what's on them and don't particularly care. If I need one I'll reformat it and load the OS but until then they are going to sit there.

Where does this stop, "Sir, I see you have a stack of tapes ... we need to verify that they don't have kiddy fiddler images on them ..." Good Luck with that.
