   This for the original truecrypt is no more maintained and if a security   
   issue would be found, it will not be fixed.

   Don't forget that there has been a third party review of the source   
   code, which hasn't found any alarming issues.   
      
   The good news is that there is a fresh and maintained fork of TrueCrypt   
   which has the openness people requested and can be found at   
   http://truecrypt.ch
