    If I were to send a physical letter written in code that can only be decrypted with a cipher would I now be breaking the law?

    What about radio or telephone conversations in code?

    Can I still password protect my zip files or encrypt my NAS or PC before boot?

      Using password protection for files is definitely work of terrorists you should be imprisoned for life. \s

      If so we should all start sending cryptic sounding gibberish around the world. Like from random lists send emails to foreigners with some random gibberish like product codes written in that look like encrypted messages, xg0-fs39450, or whatever, just as a form of protest.
