I think it is more important than ever now to encrypt your hard drives. So much so that I built my own live linux distro that encrypts both swap, root and home partitions during the installation using loopAES, it then creates the decryption boot cd that is the only way to decrypt any of the drives.
I mainly use this for my laptop, if it gets stolen, then at least I know they cannot read any of the data. And the worst they can do is to overwrite it with a new operating system. I am not a criminal, terrorist, peadophile, but just a concerned persom about my own privacy, identity theft is on the increase, I have had it once before, never again.
