re: the police state cometh....

Actually, I don't think so. Rather the failure (or refusal) to see the
bigger picture is either narrow-minded or pollyanna-ish (or both).

It's the 'slippery slope' argument. Disregarding whether or not it was
appropriate in this case, this decision will now
be used as precedent in future cases that will eventually make the use
of (at least) certain types of encryption (file, container, email, ???)
prima facie evidence of criminal, treasonous or terrorist intent and
sympathies. If not out-and-out illegal. This is particularly dangerous
in these days of the so-called U-SAP-RIOT and similar efforts to
undermine the Constitution and Bill of Rights.
