I take my laptop on the road a lot, and I have work stuff on it I don't want the world
to see. I don't encrypt the whole disk, but I have an encrypted partitiion, and keep
sensitive data on it.
The bottom line is that anybody who can touch your machine can own it, and can own all the
personal and private data on it. The only protection against that, other than physical
security, is encryption.

Encryption seems like adding UNnecessary complexity to a home computer
system? Do I need that? [my spell checker helped ?]
