Re: Devil's Advocate (again)

There are a number of good ways to breach modern cryptography without torture. They include:

Van Eck (Tempest) monitoring. Sodium pentathol & its more modern cousins.

I believe this is considered torture in the US. Bribery.

Blackmail.

Both of these are great but any evidence is inadmissable in court and therefore of no use to a prosecutor.
