Or use their draconian powers (already enshrined in law?) to demand your
password. Not giving the information is a criminal offence, with a penalty
of 2(?) years in prison. It is also an absolute offence, so "I don't know"
is not a defence (even if true), nor is "It isn't encrypted". When asked for
your password for a computer or its drives, you have to give the information,
whether a password actually exists or not.
These days I say nothing in an email, if I would be distressed if what I say
were to be circulated or spied on.
