The point is that hard disks can be stolen; not by chance, but intentionally.
I've heard about incidents where a burglar opened up every desktop machine in a business and made away with a sack of hard drives. Some swag! Very obviously targeted and very obviously a case of industrial espionage.
Yes...
My biggest objection to encryption with Linux is that it feels clunky. I've used some forms of military and commercial data encryption and by comparison LUKS is .... awkward.
Well, as LUKS is what I have available, I use it. Then there is disk hardware native encryption, but I don't know how to boot that.
Security is always a cost-benefit exercise. Is the data important enough to warrant the expense, the effort and the inconvenience? This is a business decision, not a technical issue.
I prefer to inconvenience the burglars if I can ;-) -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 42.2 x86_64 "Malachite" at Telcontar)
