@Hans Not sure what you mean, but I never connect a disk with sensitive data to any device I don't fully trust. And if I fully trust it, it kind of implies that I can use LUKS or VeraCrypt on it to decrypt it.

I read about resetting veracrypt enabled disks. If the government is able to impound that drive they might be able to simply reset it and get your data.

Some pwnboys had something:
In this tutorial, we will illustrate how to decrypt a VeraCrypt volume/hard disk image. 1. Start by going to the Passware Kit Start Page and clicking on "Full Disk Encryption". We will see the following: We will want to select the relevant encryption type. In this tutorial, we will be selecting VeraCrypt. 2.
Been taken offline but I am sure some software might be found.

I haven't heard of that. Sounds rather alarming, but I'll believe it when I see it 😉

It was a few years back. At that time I was to sick to really investigate.

Jups, at least a lot better. I will see where it goes from here.

Anything Microsoft had a hand in is suspect. They are in deep with the CIA and NSA.
