Comment 5 for bug 148440

As law enforcement have conveniently found out, if you have a notebook, you have a tomb of information about what you do and everything you have ever done. There could be cookies there for your bank account. A list of search results. I list of websites you've visited.

If every notebook was encrypted and noone knew their own encryption key, would the police arrest every person with a notebook or would the laws be changed?

Have you noticed that the police no longer arrest people at the beach wearing bikini's for indecency? Is it because everyone at the beach now wears bikinis?

I think this feature request is valid and I would turn it on by default if I had the option.
