    If so, you'll need to install an X server on Windows (i.e. Xming) & run...

    [other] Re: Laptop seizure & whole disk encryption?

    That is not a practical solution. The hard-drive is big, so imaging it and downloading the image over the net is pointless. If I'm just doing it for the information itself, that's pointless - I can...

    I'm pretty sure that's not a given. For instance, Truecrypt can even encrypt a running system in a transactional manner. So I don't think it's out of the realm of possibility for a solution to...
