OK, so when you're talking about seizure of equipment, with all the tools and past encodes just sitting there on the machine for the taking, you're really far afield of the kind of argument you had seemed to be making. I understand now why you seem to assume that the adversary is near-omnipotent here - because you're assuming that the user is a dolt who is doing most of the hard work of damning themselves for the state.

An effective dissident is going to employ some reasonable opsec practices and have multiple layers of security, they're not going to be foolish enough to think that one program is a magic bullet.
