Jake,

You talked about the limitations of the encryption system,
but one thing you didn't mention was suspend mode on a
laptop.  It seems that for the encryption to be of value you
would need to do a full system shutdown/reboot rather than
just use suspend mode if there is the <i>slightest</i>
chance that anyone else would get their hands on it while it
was off?  Unless you suspend with xscreensaver locked and
you trust that?

Hmmm, <i>I</i> had white socks on (but I was in the 2nd row :).

Thanks for the talk,
