I've thought about it on occasion (/home versus anywhere else for
certain user data). I always console myself with.. well-l-l-l, it's
password protected, and that's why I go through the repetitious "pain"
of entering a password ~20 or more times a day every day even as a
private user..
Except that I also know how easily I can access anything I need if
I've mangled a partition or something.... e.g. made it unbootable yet
I can still snag absolutely anything I need off of it..
That [devil's advocacy] is notoriously a personal *ah-haaa* moment
regarding all of the extensive encryption related discussions here on
this list.. :)
