      It can, but most likely it only would if you’re doing illegal shit and get caught. They’d search your place for evidence and FDE could keep them from discovering some things.

      But uh, if they got that far into investigating you then you’re probably already screwed.

        Not true at all. Governments regularly raid political dissidents. It’s a disciplinary tactic in and of itself. I’ve been raided for plenty of shit and never been convicted of any crime.

          I mean the average dork not cool people like you (if you’re being truthful)

          Persons of interest to governments should always be diligent.
