You need to be |<-- this -->| tall to use a computer
If you are going to have any sort of confidential data on your damn machine / thumbdrive, learn how to use real disk encyption like truecrypt. Ignorance of such technology is no excuse to loose personal and confidential data and embarass the institution you work for. Consider any media you carry as something you will not be able to have physical control over 100% of the time. If you’re traveling in a country that doesn’t allow encryption, either choose to break that country’s silly backwards law, or better yet, don’t carry confidential data in the first place. You are responsible for protecting that data.
