While I can see how it would eliminate the need for guards to have to manually go through someone's poop to remove the evidence, surely in order to find the drugs in the first place, you'd have to shove your hand up their bottom, in which case you might as well grab it while you're in there.
Unless you give everyone that you suspected might possibly have drugs a really strong laxative and make them sit around for 10 minutes before directing them to the Giant Steel Toilet Of Doom pictured above,(Seriously, it doesn't even have a seat!) I can't see how this could possibly be more cost effective than telling the guards to wrap up, dive in and stop complaining.
I know they're desperate for their contraband. But, damn... I can't imagine getting my sphincter loose enough to smuggle cell phones and bundles of drugs. I'm sure there's a certain level of pride and shame with having this ability while being locked up.
So if you use Microsoft EFS, law enforcement can crack it, but you could lose all your encrypted files anyway if your profile corrupts or someone breaks into your PC with a password changer... but if you use TrueCrypt or something like that, they're just left asking "What the hell is C:\WINDOWS\System32\Drivers\etc\EIO31462.DLL and why is it 10 GB?" :p
Obstruction of Justice? Technically, this is illegal to use on your computer IF you're under investigation.
Plus, placing this on your computer is like screaming "OMG OMG OMG MY COMPUTER CAN'T BE TOUCHED BY COFFEE" on a phone call to the FBI. Seriously. The average Joe doesn't need this.
@paulrules: On the other hand, if you install this now, and in a few months are infected with a virus that downloads child pornography, the trail of evidence is more in your control.
It's much easier to dismiss a trumped-up charge if everyone discussing the evidence is an expert, rather than a 40-year veteran whose "training" in digital forensics amounts to "Click OK to Continue".
@CaseyG: This is true. Though, on the site where it allows you to download DECAF, it makes a specific mention of Private Tracker owners...telling us of the real target audience...people who are doing "real" bad things and have something to hide.
I've bean expecting trouble to start percolating ever since the leaked COFEE situation starting brewing. Does Microsoft have grounds to get these guys in hot water for their work on DECAF? (As a side note, I noticed this news comes to us via Wired UK... but did the French press have anything to say about it?)
@met2art: Microsoft spokesman Juan Valdez was said to be 'Steamed', and that they were preparing to COFEE Su Da pants off the creators of this program.

You need to do some fact checking before making claims like this. I'm going to cross post a comment from reddit instead of plagarizing.
What is COFEE?
[www.reddit.com]
FTA:
"COFEE includes the following:
at, autorunsc, getmac, handle, hostname, ipconfig, msinfo32, nbstat, net, netdom, netstat, openfiles, psfile, pslist, psloggedon, psservice, pstat, psuptime, quser, route, sc, sclist, showgrps, systeminfo, tasklist, whoami"
Yes, super illegal for the average joe to use netstat.
