I don’t doubt that routine scans by government will be mandatory if they aren’t already.

SOmeone needs to create a heavy encryption version of Linux.

There are plenty of crypto options with Linux. You can encrypt your home partition, the whole drive, or you can have encrypted volumes with built in plausible deniablilty.

And there is this....for Online...and I think Linux has something.:

CryptoVault - Advanced Functions

From a Linux Forum:

Using Cryptovault for Password

*********************************************

Here we go...it's TrueCrypt:

TrueCrypt is open source software

Don't know how heavy this is....from linux.com:

Encrypt volumes through a cross-platform GUI with TrueCrypt 5.0

*********************************EXCERPT***************************************

TrueCrypt can create a hidden encrypted volume inside a standard encrypted one. As it's impossible to know if a hidden volume exists (hidden volume data cannot be distinguished from the random data normally filling the free space of a standard encrypted volume), this option helps you in situations in which you may be forced to reveal your password. See also Plausible Deniability in the TrueCrypt documentation.
