Interesting stuff. Basically the defendant admitted that he downloaded kiddie porn and border agents allegedly saw images on his laptop. Then his laptop was closed and left alone for a while. In doing so, the laptop closed the PGP drive and it now requires a PGP key to open it. The judge says that forcing him to reveal the key is tantamount to self-incrimination.
