Possible RIPA test case.

"An animal rights activist has been ordered to hand over her encryption keys to the authorities."
"The woman says that any encrypted data put on the PC must have been put there by somebody else."
Possibly now would be a good time to point out that, having a professional interest in security and cryptography, it's entirely possible that I will have encrypted random test files that I have no idea at all of the password for. (There's at least one such file in the revision control system at work, though we do now have the decrypted version too, and I know who probably still has the piece of paper from the envelope we got to open when we paid the fee for access to the escrow version.)
