Re: is truecrypt dead?

As people have said, there's no point in fancy contraptions. You either got the letter or you didn't. Whatever means you let that be known doesn't matter, the observed result has exactly the same meaning as holding it up on the street would.

Is it really your position that one's choice is to either emulate Mohamed Bouazizi or acquiesce?

The degree of redaction is up to you. But if your object is to test issues, you probably won't get far by just speaking 'yes or no you got one' on a soapbox. ie: The stupid rounded numbers self-reporting game yahoo, ms, gmail are playing with nsl counts.
