(especially on this list) ;) - From what I've heard about forensic practise in my country is, that they usually ring the door bell and show the suspect the search warrant, wich might give him the chance to react when prepared for it. If you are expecting a SWAT team breaking in while asleep, well then good night and good luck anyway. Still, more elaborate countermeasures like intrusion detection and acceleration sensors inside the box might do the trick. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFHv1P0oY7OTwzm8p4RApVzAJkBEZE/VFw6GzfLV0JQA1xahSOC5QCfXgpI Ji+ldUVQ9y+Vu3MCxR9bOKQ= =u4Zv -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- - Linux-crypto: cryptography in and on the Linux system Archive: http://mail.nl.linux.org/linux-crypto/
