Seagate gets serious on security

They're rolling out a new line of hard drives that encrypts absolutely everything. Period. No questions asked. You need to enter a password just to boot up. And nobody, but nobody, will be able to read your data but you--not even Seagate.

This could be deeply bad news for the CIA and the cops. Most crooks, spies and terrorists still don't encrypt their data. What'll happen when their computer does it for them, no questions asked.
