The question is this: if, as according to the Snowden leaks, NSA has
weakened encryption standards, will possibly precedent-setting cases which
may compell defendants to reveal their password never crop up because the
NSA will just break the encryption on any data source a defendant arrives
to court with?
will future cases not force defendents to give their password b/c, with
weakened NSA standards, prosecutors can decrypt most hard drives?
