Bottom line is that the suspect was OK because kept his mouth zippered, neither admitting nor denying any knowledge of the encrypted partition.

Had he admitted control of the partition, *then* they would have been able to compel production of the key.

The court did not concede any right to refuse to decrypt a drive if you admit possession of the contents.

So: Don't talk to police about the contents of your drive, or indeed anything of which they might potentially disapprove.
