I just want to point out that many companies are requiring employee's to have
an encrypted partition on both company pc's and personal pc's if those pc's
will be holding company data. This is even more important now that laptops are
subject to search by border guards basically at their whim. (

)
Our legal department informed us that if we did not use *approved* encryption
we would be held responsible for damages due to the information being lost or
stolen.
Finally on a personal level, if my laptop gets stolen I don't want to make it
any easier for the thief to steal my data. They are going to have to break a
bios password, an encrypted home and a user logon password. Not impossible by
any means but perhaps beyond the average thief who does a snatch and grab of a
laptop.
