yeah, but they don't need evidence to do that, so crypto is largely 
irrelevant. in fact it could save someone from the gulag... if they 
*really* want to know what's encrypted they'll work out a deal. the 
guantanamo gulag is reserved for people who can't be convicted anyway.

sooner or later the civilized world will liberate us... or we'll collapse 
under our own weight.
