Re: Why not encrypt the whole Hard Drives?

It's a good question.  I would think that the answer - why full disk encryption isn't more widespread - absolutely has 
to do with the cost.  

The software itself can approach 10 - 15 percent of the cost of the notebook, plus the added labor of installation, 
configuration, administration, etc.
