Regarding Tim Trent’s comment, it is very clear that not enough is being done to assure data security on laptops. I also agree that fully encrypted data storage on all hard drives, including those on laptops, is an essential step. While a hardware solution may be the ultimate answer, there are minimally intrusive software solutions that could solve much of the problem if consistent deployment was backed up by serious employee sanctions for noncompliance. (For one example of such software see http://www.cypherix.com/ ) These solutions also would be much more cost effective (i.e. cheaper) than a wholesale replacement of hardware.
