But Deuce's point, and I think I agree: with a warrant, the government can
invade any kind of privacy you enjoy. Why would encrypted data on a cellphone
be any different? If you had a boobie-trapped safe, I'm pretty sure the
government could get a warrant to defeat the boobie-trap and get inside to see
what's there. Very similar to a locked iPhone.

Well, to be fair, the video I saw of the lego-strat wasn't recorded with very
good audio/mics, so it might sound better than portrayed on the video (and hey,
it's not a strat after-all): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nU7Rw6QNHJM
But the pickups on a guitar pick up the resonating wood (along with the
strings) and the strings resonate differently depending on the wood they're
suspended over (especially the neck since that's the majority of the surface
the strings are suspended over). Perhaps it's minute, but there are
differences. I definitely can hear the difference between a Les Paul, a
Stratocaster, Telecaster, and a hollow-body Gibson. How much of that is the
type of wood, the style/design, or the electronics, I don't know.

Impressive! Don't get it wet though!
Glad to know someone's listening still! :-)
