Syed Farhan Hussain, a 22-year-old from Luton, UK, was hit with additional jail time for refusing to divulge the password for a memory stick that police were eager to take a peek at. Police were unable to crack the password themselves and therefore sought Hussain's help; Hussain declined, prompting a guilty verdict under Britain's Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act 2000. The four months Hussain received for the USB dustup will be tacked on to his existing five-plus-year sentence, which stems from conspiring to attack an army based in Luton.
