被告人は暗号化したディスクを複合化せよ

Judge orders defendant to decrypt PGP-protected laptop (CNet) [LWN.net]

CNet reports that a US Federal judge has ordered a defendant to decrypt a laptop drive to allow the government to view its contents; this runs counter to an earlier ruling that compelling decryption would violate the defendant’s self-incrimination rights. “Boucher’s attorney, Jim Budreau, already has filed an appeal to the Second Circuit. That makes it likely to turn into a precedent-setting case that creates new ground rules for electronic privacy, especially since Homeland Security claims the right to seize laptops at the border for an indefinite period.”

裁判所が被告人に「PGPで暗号化されたディスクの複合化」を命じた、と。「自分に不利な証言」をするのと同じような気がしますが、これはどうなの?

せっかくこの間からPGP Whole Disk Encryptionを試し始めたところなのに(3/31までキャンペーン価格なのです)。
