Why the frock hasn't the government made 256-bit AES or higher encryption on portable device mandatory yet when holding peoples details? Surely it should be in data protection act.

The FSA has recently dictated that all financial advisors, or anyone handling client information should be using full HDD encryption, encrypted email attachments and memory sticks. They suspect and can fine people big money if they don't.

It's time the other idiots joined the encryption club. It's not difficult, and not expensive - try TrueCrypt.
Theres an easy fix to this... leave the kids at home armed only with house hold items, card board and string...
