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.
