Will Sebastien Boucher be compelled to tell police his encryption password?

Forecast: No (53% chance 1% )

Combining all predictions, the current most likely outcome is No with a probability of 53% (up 1% in last 1 day)

he allowed customs agents to search his harddrive @ the canadian border and they found child porn on it. now, they are unable to recall the images because of encryption on the drive. one federal judge has ruled that he does not have to give the password because it exists only in his mind & because of the 5th amendment...will he eventually be forced to give it up?
