But when they tried to examine the images after his arrest, authorities were stymied by a password-protected encryption program. Now Boucher is caught in a cyber-age quandary: The government wants him to give up the password, but doing so could violate his constitutional right against self-incrimination by revealing the contents of the files. Experts say the case could have broad computer-privacy implications for people who cross borders with computers, PDAs and other devices that are subject to inspection.

a very, very interesting and novel question, and the courts have never really dealt with said Lee Tien, an attorney with the Electronic Frontier Foundation, a San Francisco-based group focused on civil liberties in the digital world. For now, the law ison side: A federal magistrate has ruled that forcing Boucher to surrender the password would be unconstitutional. The case began Dec.17, 2006, when Boucher and his father were stopped at a Derby Line, checkpoint as they entered the United States. Boucher, a 30-year-old Canadian citizen who lives in Derry, N.H., cooperated with agents, telling them he downloads pornography from news groups and sometimes unknowingly acquires images that contain child pornography. Boucher said he deletes those images when he realizes it, according to an affidavit filed by Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

At the border, he helped an agent access the computer for an initial inspection, which revealed files with names such as teen according to the affidavit. Boucherwas accused of transporting child pornography in interstate or foreign commerce, which carries up to 20years in prison. He is free on his own recognizance. The laptop was seized, but when an investigator tried to access a particular drive, he was thwarted by encryption software from a company called Pretty Good Privacy. Agrand-jury subpoena to force Boucher to reveal the password was quashed by federal Magistrate Jerome Niedermeier on Nov.29.

the password, as if it were a key to a locked container, forces Boucher to produce the contents of his Niedermeier wrote. password is not a physical thing. If Boucher knows the password, it only exists in his Niedermeier said a Secret Service computer expert testified that the only way to access computer without knowing the password would be to use an automated system that guesses passwords, but that process could take years. The government has appealed the ruling. Neither attorney, James Budreau, nor Vermont U.S.

Attorney Thomas Anderson would discuss the charge. Authorities have encountered such dilemmas before but have used other methods to learn passwords.Sometimes investigators have given up before a case reached the courts.

By JOHN CURRAN THIS ASSOCIATED PRESS SAN FRANCISCO Yahoo board will reject Microsoft takeover bid after concluding the unsolicited offer undervalues the slumping Internet pioneer, according to a person familiar with the situation. The decision could provoke ashowdown between two of the most prominent technology companies.

If the largest soft- ware maker wants Yahoo badly enough, Microsoft could try to override board by taking its offer originally valued at $31 per share directly to the shareholders. Pursuing that route probably would require Microsoft to attempt to oust board. Alternatively, Microsoft could sweeten its bid. Many analysts think Microsoft is prepared to offer as much as $35 a share for Yahoo, which still boasts one of the largest audiences and most powerful advertising vehicles despite a prolonged slump that has hammered its stock price. board reached the decision after exploring a wide variety of alternatives during the past week, according to the person who spoke to The Associated Press.

board concluded offer is inadequate even though the company could not find any other potential bidders willing to offer a higher price. By spurning Microsoft, Yahoo risks further alienating shareholders upset about management missteps that have led to five consecutive quarters of declining profits. The downturn caused stock price to plummet more than 40percent, erasing about $20billion in shareholder wealth, in the three months leading up to bid. Seizing on an opportunity to expand its clout on the Internet, Microsoft dangled a take- over offer that was 62percent higher than stock price of $19.18 when the bid was announced Feb.1. Yahoo shares ended the past week at $29.20.

Led by company co-founder and board member Jerry Yang, Yahoo now will be under intense pressure to lay out a strategy that will prevent its stock price from collapsing again. more, Yang and the management team must convince Wall Street that they can boost market value beyond offer. shares traded at $31 as recently as Novemberbut have eroded steadily amid concerns about the slowing economy and frustration with the slow pace of a turnaround.
