| From: Robin Laing <Robin.Laing@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> ^^^^^^^^^^^^ Defence R&D Canada / R & D pour la défense Canada . Government of Canada | One issue with all this pre-compiled database is it makes things easy for | someone else to trace your actions. Yeah. Like the government :-) :-) | Maybe I am paranoid but I found that even | "locate" can reveal to much information that I don't want easily found. True. | I want to start encrypting everything on the laptop and many files on the | desktop. In your business, it would seem like a given. But perhaps not for what you actually do. Lack of encryption of exposed devices has recently gotten the UK government in trouble. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/7103566.stm The Privacy Commissioner of Ontario has also ordered that notebook drives must be encrypted if they have "identifiable data" (what a term!): http://www.ipc.on.ca/index.asp?navid=55&fid1=607
