I think you're getting a little off-track here --- the original discussion was about whether the court could make the journalist turn over *all copies* of a document. She wasn't trying to destroy them to hide anything, As others have stated, if you don't keep logs, or throw away all your reciepts, there's not jack they can do about it --- the interesting question is whether or not they can somehow expect you to turn over *all* copies of a document you've published on freenet or mojo. And whether they are encrypted or not is irrelevant. Although really, the most serious question everyone should be asking is why the court wants "all" copies.
