I agree something very heavy and sharp too. Human stupidity can be broken
all it takes is education either gently or very rough.

Oh, you can defend against that. You just need something heavy and/or
sharp that you can swing easily.

  I'm concerned about a user leaving the id and password on paper in or
near 
the laptop.

There is no way one can defend against a user who decides to stick a
sticky 
pad on his laptop and leaves his password there. The best encryption
tool 
does not defend against human stupidity.
