I'm with you, PJ. Sorry I can't add any technical dialogue to the discussion, but I sure do wish some of us would tone down the government phobia. (I've been hearing this stuff ever since the John Birch Society showed up in the 50's, yet our culture continues to thrive.) Granted, we all need to join in figuring out a way to find a balance between privacy and the public good. We might be better served to work toward a solution than to look for a villain. IMO.

On the other hand what you have expressed is the willingness to let the government inspect your hard disk because you have nothing to hide. I guess they will catch you and not him.
