I aggree with this.  It is up to the authorities to prove you guilty, not
you.  If there is a passphrase in my head then no-one has any right to it
except me (ideally).  Added to this the fact that if you lose a key (I did
this once, but can I prove it?) then the onus is on you to prove that you
lost it not on the authorities to prove that you didn't meaning that *poof*
<fx=puff of smoke>, there goes another fundamental ideal (right?), innocent
until proven guilty.
