...Can't they just use the NSA created backdoor to bypass the
encryption?  ;-)

omg wtf...

"In the event that there was doubt that a suspect did not possess a key,
he 
said, it was up to the prosecution to demonstrate beyond a reasonable
doubt 
that they could know the passphrase"

ever fat finger a password? ever forgot a password? ( I got a zip
archive I 
protected and cant unlock due to the fact I forgot the passphrase )

looks like prosecuters and judges will now be ASSUMING guilt or
innocence 
based on whaty they THINK MIGHT be true. ( if you created the passphrase
you 
must know it )
