Laptop encryption experiences

[Alan Bowen <abowenml () GMAIL COM>]

At TCNJ, we've been in the alpha/pilot phase of a laptop full disk encryption 
project for a very long time.  We are grappling with the complexities and 
resource requirements for encrypting our entire laptop inventory.  I'd like to 
know what types of parameters schools use for a "litmus test" to determine if a 
given laptop needs to be encrypted.  Also, data on the number of laptops that 
have been encrypted over a time period, e.g. month or semester, would be very 
useful.  Any extenuating circumstances or qualifiers outside of these questions 
would be much appreciated as well.  Thanks.
