Being grey haired and lazy, I've always looked askance at going the 
encryption route. I am just wondering though, if I had something that 
really needed double-naught protection can a CD or DVD be created with 
an encrypted file system, with the aforementioned Top-Secret files, in a 
ISO burn?

If the storm troopers were breaking down your doors, I guess you could 
just snap the CD/DVD in half to really screw them over when they try to 
glue an encrypted broken-in-half media back for recovery purposes.

Then bite down hard on the cyanide tablet embedded in your left rear 
molar ...for Queen and Country. <cackles> 00-Ric
