Today's XKCD totally is related to me.

I use TrueCrypt on my laptop to achieve whole-disk encryption that's NSA-proof strength. Why? Primarily anti-theft; I don't want my personal files used/abused in any way. The typical thief will see the "enter password" on bootup and either give up or reformat the disk drive. (The 10% speed boost resulting from its installation was a great benefit, too -- good work Open Source software engineers!)

Still, it offers peace of mind against theft. That the same software offers all the tinfoil-hat precautions like secret hidden partitions, etc. with plausible deniability, is certainly great. Still, this comic totally captures Kristen's sentiments:

Oh my goodness Mike, that is so you.

I'll get the wrench.
