You're missing the point entirely. Whole disk encryption would have
an unacceptably high chance of failure scenario. It does absolutely
nothing to prevent someone from physically copying the drive if they have
that sort of access to the hardware, and having that access means it's a
fair bet they would install a logging device that would capture the keys
to unlock the stolen data with what can only be called "ease". :(
That you'd suggest a software solution to a physical security problem only
belies your ignorance. What's needed in this case is either a better
"seal", like a vault or safe, or to simply keep possession of the
hardware. There's also a couple other possibilities like a surveillance
"honey pot" that might have something to do with cameras or such....
You I understand, you're a sock puppet wannabe. But I'm honestly a bit
surprised nemo didn't see through to this simple logic. <sigh>
