Yeah, but that all sounds like a double-secret no-returnsies kind of thing to me. I don't have a clue about that stuff and a lot of people would consider me a computer expert because I know how to watch a movie that won't be released until Friday.

The way I read it explained (though I don't believe) is that this is nothing different than going through a suitcase at customs. Going with that, encrypting files seems like a secret compartment in your suitcase. You are good to go if they don't find it, but maybe not so good to go if they do.
