[Gllug] [OT] Technobabble

Today's Guardian, someone called Kitty Ussher bigs up the need for 90
days:

"Computer hard drives have to be decoded (in one instance, I am told,
the data involved, if printed out, would be 66,000ft high)."

Surely this is technobabble - would one have any more of a chance
breaking strong encryption on a hard drive in 90 days than in 14? 

Since it's the Guardian perhaps I should "ask Jack"...
