  I think it should be illegal for them to attempt to crack the encryption.
 Encrypted data should be treated the same as info stored in your
 own head, if you don't want to reveal the data, or even reveal the
 nature of the data, there should be no recourse for law enforcement.
  Indeed, forcing you you reveal data that you know would incriminate
 you would violate your 5th amendment rights.
