I will have no problem handing over keys once the legal procedures have been run through - I have nothing to hide (in terms of terrorism) but if they are going to arrest me for going naked in the street they cant expect me to be naked on the internet - and I see no reason to make life easy for them to dig into my legal business of being alive.
