The government should turn the laptop over to NSA and see if they can get in (they can), but the accused should not be compelled to produce incriminating evidence.

What evidence do you have that the NSA can break PGP? I've not seen any. All they could really do is brute-force the passphrase, which might work if a weak passphrase was used. They'd have hell breaking mine. They'd probably manage it before the heat death of the universe, I'd be quite content to wait.

If you mean they have actually cracked the algorythms that underlie PGP, I and many others would be extremely interested in knowing that. Personally, I doubt it. Used to be the best crypographers worked in government. That's not necessarily the case any more.

Lol, you sound like me. Mine was about 40 characters long. Bit of a pain to type in, but I type reasonably well... a few seconds and I'd be in business.
