Doesn't the OP sort of invalidate this? Any government should find it reasonably easy to install this kind of a keylogger on your computer. It would be quite easy to get a few minutes alone with your laptop.
hehe, and then, one realizes that the government might recruit your sister and the dilemma is perfect.
