My laptop not stolen, no data at risk due to encrypted contents

Apparently only non commercial, non Govermental users are able to encrypt sesitive files. Cirious isn't it? I don't even have any sensitive data I do it to drive Agent Mike crazy! Good Morning, Mike!

Blowfish Forever!

2. I don't know what all the hubbub about physically losing a drive is...
AT&T can just reach in and suck the contents directly off the drive.

6. Obvious question... Ever post on a Liberal Web Site?
Send any data over the Internet?

(BTW... I heard your contributions to Mike Malloy the other night, GOOD JOB!)

7. Of course.
But though they might be monitoring those things, nothing they do can get at my hard disk contents without me seeing the activity.

(And thanks!)
