It also used to "secure" your email communication with Lavabit… And the 8 (alleged) PRISIM participants. From what I read – "trusting the legal system for that" perhaps isn't a particularly prudent idea.

If the government doesn't want to recognize the value of your money, they don't need to snoop on your communications with your bank to do it.

Conversely if you're actually interested in protecting your information, then client-side encryption with self-authenticated keys has always been the only solution.
