Wasn't  there that case  where the  fact that  someone (a  now convicted
child molester nonetheless, but let's ignore that fact) had some OpenPGP
implementation  on their  computer  was  admitted into  a  US court  and
appeals didn't overturn that admission?

Anyway, we're  getting off-topic. We've already determined  that using a
deniable system might be a bad idea. The thought experiment continues...
