  Is this shit ever going to end? Airport agents demanding you to unlock your phone and detaining you if you refuse, governments passing laws to decrypt everything and spy on everyone. Why the heck is this considered Ok and doesn't cause outrages?

  Why is this redirecting to some fake Wal-Mart gift card scam? (This seems to only happen on iOS)

  This reminds me of Truecrypt Plausible Deniability feature, where you hide an encrypted volume and can claim it's unused space.

  Truecrypt is discontinued now, I don't know what's a good alternative today.

  Why? What are governments doing?

  Suppose someone uses an app that has built-in end-to-end encryption. In the eyes of the law, what does that now make them?
