Yes. Couple that with treating key confiscation as a minor thing and I'd be
surprised if someone's key didn't end up accidentally being sent to a well-
connected competitor.
One possible line of defense other than complete civil disobediance might be
providing only the session key(s) used for encrypted documents instead of the
key-pair. It'd be interesting to see if the courts accept this.
