[Thinkpad] Re: [OT-Thinkpad] Thinkpad Hard Drive Passwords

If we stick with the door/lock analogy: Even if I realize that I might
lose the key to my house or that a trusted person might give it to a
criminal, should that lead me to not have a security lock or to not lock
my door at all? It's all about avoiding the obvious risks while being
aware of possible weak spots. The bank will of course try to make sure
their employess don't turn over the encryption key, for example by
paying them a very good salary or by splitting the key between several
employees.
