Hadn't noticed any mention of this on the list, but it appears a
Florida newspaper really misunderstands the difference between
cracking a password and "hacking TrueCrypt."<br>

<blockquote>
<p>Glenn read up on the art of espionage and used an elaborate
encryption system, TrueCrypt, with a decoy computer drive to
distract investigators from another hidden drive that he
protected with a complex 30-character password, army
counterintelligence expert Gerald Parsons testified.</p>
<p>Though prosecutors said Glenn emailed a friend a link to an
article headlined "FBI hackers fail to crack TrueCrypt" in
October 2011, he wasn't as lucky in his efforts.</p>
<p>The FBI's counterintelligence squad in South Florida was able
to crack Glenn's code, Parsons said.<br>

<p>How much residue is left after a person's brain melts on the
revelation that there is some stuff government authority can't
corrupt?<br>
