For you and me, it's a good thing. But, for the same reasons that the government never gives it's support to encrypting all web traffic, it's bad for when they want to pin charges on you. My ideal storage has some sort of wipe-from-a-jail-cell-when-drive-is-unplugged functionality. I'm not a criminal, I just don't like to think of my life being open for perusal by any prosecutor/judge/jury.
