what happens if they do not have the original image to compare to the image with the data hidden in it?
Cracking low grade file encryption is the 'Script Kiddies' first kick at the cat so I am not impressed. And not cracking high grade encryption but relying on there being a human who has the passwords, in custody, is throwing out the baby with the bath-water.
In addition to the above there is no certainty that the information you are finding is the real McCoy or just a Red Herring. I'm sure that real bad guys (Black Hats) would have no problem hiding the real stuff and if caught would have no problem giving up passwords.
The US government has ways to deal with this but they don't kiss and tell.
