In other news, if a hacker steals the password you have written on a sticky 
note affixed to the laptop, you're screwed. :-)  Also, beware thieves 
carrying large flasks of liquid nitrogen through the airport.

Why are you carrying sensitive information around on a laptop anyway? Given 
that 99.44% of the time that information isn't encrypted to start with, and 
99.44% of the time the thief steals the laptop for the hardware and not the 
data, I think that most people have nothing to worry about.
