    Flash drive hidden under the carpet and connected via a USB extension, holding the decryption keys - threat model is a robber making off with the hard drives and gear, where the data just needs to be useless or inaccessible to others.

    This is a pretty clever solution. Most thieves won’t follow a cable that for all intents looks like a network cable, especially if it disappears into a wall plate or something.

      I don’t think most thieves care much about the data on the computer in the first place. Steal hardware, fresh install of Windows on it and straight to the pawn shop.
