Personally, if I were involved in such activities, I would use TrueCrypt with its "plausible deniability" feature for storing files on a computer, and steganography techniques for sending encrypted messages.

Then there is no way to prove that there is any interesting content present in the first place.

All you're doing is using an encrypted volume to store private records on the computer, to guard against identity theft if it were to be stolen or otherwise misappropriated, and sending some photographs to a friend.

And nobody can prove otherwise. When will legislators come to the realisation that technology is already miles ahead of anything they can do?
