Pardon this silly question but I gotta ask:

Let's say that someone decides they want to build a key index of nekkid
eskimos. The index grows to many thousands of keys due to the wild
popularity of nekkid eskimos among the perverts of the world. Everyone
knows looking at nekkid eskimos is immoral and illegal (in certain parts
of the world) and the local authorities know a certain disliked person in
their community is running a freenet node. 

What is to stop them from confiscating his node, applying the decryption
keys from the list of nekkid eskimo pics (or lists of any and all illegal
information in indexes on freenet for that matter) to the files in the
nodes cache, and hitting upon some files which happen to decrypt into
something they can nail him with posessing?

Someday the vast majority of content in Freenet will be in a key index. I
think this is a reasonable assumption because if nobody can find it, there
wasn't much point to uploading it. Sure, some content is meant for only
one person and some other manner of key exchange can be arranged but that
is rare. That means the keys to the majority of the content will be in the
indexes. Given that a node contains i pieces of data in it's datastore and
there are j pieces of data in all of freenet and k known encryption keys
in the lists and l nodes in the entire net, what are the odds that a list
will intersect with the content of any one node?
