New Year's Resolution: Full Disk Encryption on Every Computer You Own
It's sad we need encryption mostly for protection from not criminals, but our own government for even trivial data.What freaks me out most these days is how easily people fall into the belief that "oh well traveling is not a right so you have to give up rights when you fly or drive anywhere".No, if you are a citizen of the United States and unless you are actually crossing a border, you should have the unqualified protection against unreasonable searches, especially without warrants.I also don't accept the "well it's worse in other countries, be happy you are not there" argument. This country is not even 250 years old. The laws we made are pretty fundamental and not old at all. It's not some kind of game where they should be allowed to dance around the edges to break them.
