there we go again: triple-aes-1024 won't help if the cryptosystem is lame.
What I'm still courious about is: are "they" allowed to tamper with a
"disk with random-looking data"? because, if she says: "No, it's just
random data, dunno what crypto is" then "they" could say: "if it's only
random, you won't object if we wipe your disk, right?".
But these are legal questions, i guess...
