1. Whole disk encryption (WDE) aka Full Disk Encryption (FDE) only 
protects your data if a) the system has been powered off

And don't forget that "suspend" or "hibernate" is *not* a power-off.  This is particularly important for those laptop 
users who almost always suspend, and only actually power off or reboot every few months, if at all.
