well now - my simple-minded interpretation of this request makes me wonder - if you provide an unencrypted copy of anything, how do they expect to verify that what you're giving them is what's in the encrypted document/folder/partition?

if they aren't compelling the accused to provide the passphrase, and that can still be kept secret, then the actual encryption itself is still an 'untrustworthy' variable...isn't it?

"no, this is the only file in there...'thr33 littl3 piggi3s.txt'. I promise."

surely i'm missing some finer point here, but the point of the encryption+passcode is to keep the payload unknown, and unknown=unverifiable in my world.

you're right. that IS weird. he should have been arrested for that alone.

i'm building an ER in a zeppelin.

this both gives me the chills, and doesn't.

no, *that's* what they want you to think.

Say what they mean, mean what they say.

One thing I've always noted about TMBG is that they don't appear to ever sell out or take direction from anyone. Even when they have commercial tie-ins (malcom, mickey mouse clubhouse) it's still obviously TMBG-originated material.

This interview was no different.

that video validated every single nightmare i've ever had

if the dolphins are smart enough to understand us, they'll play dumb.

but why? why does it do this? whatever your answer is, i ask "why?" again. we don't have a fundamental answer for "why?"

i have seen statistics for similar events in the past. when 911 offices are at capacity, and people can't get through, it's a send-end-send-end scenario...people don't give up, and one call turns into ten calls turns into 50 calls.

the call volume doesn't make sense to you because not all the facts are presented.
