It seems pretty clear: a new encryption application is needed. It would require 2 pass phrases; one that would encrypt/decrypt files and the other that would activate an erase routine that completely removes all encrypted files on the disk(s). When your computer gets confiscated by any LEO, you would agree to cooperate fully by entering your pass phrase for them. You would then enter the 2nd pass phrase, which would cause all incriminating files to be erased. You cooperated and they found no evidence. Problem solved!

DrgnDancer, Excellent argument, with excellent assumptions. The real problem (proximate cause if you will) of the health care crisis is: why is it so expensive? Answer that question first, and fix THAT problem. Then, and only then, will we know what the next problem is. Throwing fixes at the wrong problem is futile. Ask any physician out there what their major costs are and these are your answers: 1). Malpractice Insurance 2). Paperwork and follow up for billing insurance companies. 3). Slow pay by government. These major cost drivers cause 1). Defensive medicine (very expensive) 2. High office staff labor costs. 3). Poor cash flow. Simple fixes? 1) Limit awards. 2) Mandate a single insurance claim form. Could also go so far as to have a insurance claim clearing house as a single point of contact for the doctor's office. 3) Government must pay in a timely manner. When these issues are fixed we'll have a much better idea of the actual financial impact that uninsured patients cost.
