As a UK citizen, I am curious how having encrypted data on my disk that I do
not know the password for, is going to help me when MI5 are clubbing me
senseless demanding to know my password.
I will say "I don't know it" and they will say "we don't believe you". Thanks
for guaranteeing that every UK Ubuntu user is now more likely to be
waterboarded or whatever.
More seriously - we have laws requiring us to give up our crypto keys. It
sucks, but it's the reality. Forcing every user into a situation where they
cannot comply with that law is not only stupid, it is irresponsible.
This is a pretty strange bug, I am changing it to "Invalid".
