Re: Plausible deniability

Unfortunately this works both ways.

The suspect has a text message saying "see you next tuesday" we have decrypted this to reveal "Kill the prime minister" using the following key .

Now the jury just has to decide whether they believe the nice policeman in his nice uniform or the brown/muslim/irish (delete as appropriate) terrorist.
