Unfortunately I wasn't there for your discussion (but I would have liked 
to be), so I don't know if TrueCrypt was discussed as a means of 
encrypting data on hard drives. I don't know what "black helicopter" 
overtones are but there are lots of nosy people out there.

I have been using TrueCrypt as a matter of course for some time now, for 
any data that is probably not any business of people who might feel the 
need to snoop through computer systems that I use or travel with. 
TrueCrypt is very easy to use, and the plausible deniability feature is 
interesting too. :) It seems to be fairly well designed and implemented 
and works on Linux Windows and other platforms I think.

Just my $0.02 worth,
Jim
