Re: auto-encrypt all external storage devices

My understanding is that with PGP you actually have to "manually"
select the external media that you want to encrypt. It is not a
automated process. Please correct me if I am wrong.

The other other problem is PGP it take longer to setup on a system.
The setup is not as straight-forward as other similar product (e.g.
pointsec, utimaco etc)
