        “If this password doesn’t work, I’m going to break your thumbs.”

        “Uh…”

        “Yeah, its not the real password. Lets break his thumbs and ask him again.”

            Well in reality they will use waterboarding or some other technique that ensures suffering while not being life threatening. There’s actually a great movie called Unthinkable about this.
