Lugging around portable hard drives is a real security issue. If you had thumbdrives like the Self-Destruct Flash Drive from Kingston, you’d probably blow your budget everymonth if you are James Bond. Another good alternative would be fingerprint security or biometrics. Hopefully they’ve not crack it yet and allow dead fingers to be used…
With hardware encryption and biometric access technology, the LaCie SAFE Mobile Hard Drive with Encryption guarantees impenetrable protection for your highly confidential files. Transfer and carry your sensitive data without concern of misuse, unauthorized access or intellectual property theft if it were to get in the wrong hands. Corruption is impossible – the encryption in each drive is unique since this innovative technology depends on a key based on a 24-character pass phrase stored on the board. Up to 5 different users can be registered with customized access privileges such as read/write or read-only.

I bought a LaCie 500 Gb hard disk and it never worked correctly. Lots of delayed writes from XP. LaCie Service is an experience I would reserve for only the very worst of terrorists.
