Actually, after having a lengthy thread on this at work recently, the apparent
issue is that they can demand that you enter the decrypt key to do the mount
for them, *and*, if you fail to comply, refuse you entry (at a minimum) ...
Of course, they have to know the drive is actually there for this, but
considering how many public lists that this thread has been discussed on, it
won't take long for them to train those guys to find it for themselves ;)
