Glenn Greenwald 'Not Worried At All' About Britain Getting Info From His Partner's Seized Electronics
Andrew Sullivan took this lesson from the detention:
■ “So any journalist passing through London’s Heathrow has now been warned: do not take any documents with you. Britain is now a police state when it comes to journalists, just like Russia is."
A better lesson might be that any journalist — or person carrying sensitive information on digital devices — should make sure their documents are locked down with encryption, so that someone with access to those devices doesn’t also have access to the information inside them. “We both now typically and automatically encrypt all documents and work we carry – not just for the NSA stories,” says Greenwald via email. “So everything he had – for his personal use and everything else – was heavily encrypted, and I’m not worried at all that they can break that.”
