Общение криптоспеца с пограничником Новой Зеландии

Тут в рассылке кинули типа анекдота, историю как проходили таможню, где
всё знают про TrueCrypt и людей его использующих.

    I have an anecdote. Maybe you've heard it before, apologies if you
    have.

    A number of years ago (the proper time period will leak), I went on
    a business trip to New Zealand. I was going through their
    immigration, and getting the usual set of questions. Why are you
    here? Who do you work for? What do you do? And so on. I found it
    interesting because it was more detailed than I usually get. I was
    entertained, as let's face it, I do boring stuff, really. Not boring
    to us, but we're people who think boring stuff is interesting, to
    come right down to it.

    Then he asked me about the sorts of things the company did and I
    replied something like, "Well, ummm, among other things, my company
    makes the system you're looking me up on." He looks up, gets a big
    smile and says, "Really?" We start having a great conversation about
    passport security; how good is contactless, anyway; biometric safety
    and security; and more.

    Somewhere in the back of my mind, Arlo Guthrie is talking about
    bonding with the guys on the Group W bench. Shut up, Arlo; not now.
    I mean it, not now. Not. Now. Somewhere out in the arrivals lounge,
    my co-workers are starting to wonder where the heck I am and
    deciding they ought to find a seat to sit on.

    After a while of grooving with this immigration man about document
    forgery, MiTM attacks on magnetic coupling, network latency,
    smuggling, and all sorts of mean nasty stuff, I decide to drop a
    question on him.

    "Have you ever heard of TrueCrypt?" I ask him. See, I told you I was
    going let you know what time period.

    "Oh," he says. "Oh. OH. We know *all* about TrueCrypt."

    I asked what he meant. He bristled a bit and said, "You know, we
    don't search someone's laptop just because they had an apple in
    their bag. We have to have a real reason to look in a laptop." (To
    explain the remark about the apple, NZ has strict agricultural
    controls and minor violations of this, like having an apple in your
    backpack is an instant NZ$400 fine, on the spot.) He pre-empted my
    next question by saying, "We know all about the hidden volume. If we
    see you have TrueCrypt, we just ask you what the password is for the
    hidden volume."

    I asked, "What if they don't have a hidden volume?"

    He spluttered, "What kind of idiot uses TrueCrypt and doesn't have a
    hidden volume?"

    "Most people are idiots. What if they don't have one, what do you
    do?"

    He gets thoughtful for a few seconds and then says, "I guess we'd
    have them sit in one of the holding rooms until they convinced us
    there was no second volume."

    We chatted for a few more minutes, and I went off and met up with my
    relieved colleagues.
