FBI can't break TrueCrypt

The FBI failed to decrypt a hard disk encrypted under TrueCrypt and another unnamed program. Of course, this is the expected result if AES is secure and the password the suspect had chosen is also secure. Still, this is a nice argument that the whole things worked.

On a side note: this is exactly why authorities want to put trojans into computers of suspected people: The Trojans would be used to "confiscate" the data or the password while the suspect uses them.
