I know I'd be out for blood, McVeigh-style.
My rough figure of merit is that for every _day_ that I am held unjustly, a member of the forces which held me must die.
If this means killing an office building of them for unjustly holding me for 30 days, so be it.
Indeed. If only 1 of 10 were successful in taking such measures it would quickly make such incarcirations a career limiting move for LE.

John Ross's novel _Unintended Consequences_ covers this. The book is mainly about gun control in the US, but is easily extended to crypto and civil rights issues. More to the point, in the latter third of the book, some fed-up citizens start killing feds. Decent book. A bit long, but fast reading. Recommended.
