That's why I like my 2-step process. Thumbdrive w/
encryption & strong 
passphrase contains keyfiles to mount all other
encrypted volumes. Loose the 
thumbdrive, loose access to all encrypted data on
other drives because the huge, 
random passphrases used to create them are not known
or written down.

So I guess I'd be fracked in the UK since I would
literally not have the key to 
give them. How fracked I can't tell since the article
does not make mention of 
requirements for maintaining key backups to prevent
loss. Thank god I am not in 
the UK because it sounds like you could be busted even
if you simply lost the 
keys needed which is twisted because data is lost all
the time to "acts of god 
and clueless mortals", LOL.
