I use linux with full disk encryption on my laptop, which is legal in America. They would need a reason to get a search warrant to make me give them the passphrase. I'm not hiding anything but It's always nice to be secure and not have to worry about anything like this.

We can compile a kernel module for our ereaders and can encrypt our documents folder as well and not have to worry about it.
