Oh, you can defend against that. You just need something heavy and/or
sharp that you can swing easily.

  I'm concerned about a user leaving the id and password on paper in or
near 
the laptop.

There is no way one can defend against a user who decides to stick a
sticky 
pad on his laptop and leaves his password there. The best encryption
tool 
does not defend against human stupidity.
