[ale] I have fallen in love with Truecrypt

[David Tomaschik]

For me, it's simple: I value my privacy.  To the best of my knowledge,
I don't have anything unlawful on any of my computers.  I do, however,
have personal financial documents, scans of medical records,
configuration information for servers, and a variety of other data
that I feel more comfortable if it's encrypted.  Encryption is a very
minor overhead, and I'd rather have it in place and not need it, then
not have it and need it.

It's like a seatbelt: I'm not planning on getting into a wreck, but
I'll wear my seatbelt anyway.  Never know when it will come in handy.

(Oh yeah, and I have this crazy notion that the 1st, 4th, and 5th
amendments -- among others -- still apply to me.)
