Yes, I'd be very happy to give advice on securing a house. I suspect
most computer security geeks have made some reaosnable study of physical
security as well; in fact, you can't really do a good job of securing,
say, servers, without understanding physical security.

I totally agree...

If you use it only to ssh into other hosts, I can see this being a
possibility. But you'd be surprised at what data other programs, such as
web browsers, may leave lying around.

If I say I don't, I don't understand why everybody here pretends to know more
about my laptop than I do...

Well, you'll have to excuse us for doubting you on this, but consider
that you have "no data" on your laptop is a rather extraordinary claim,
one that most security experts would have a difficult time accepting.
You appear not to know this, because otherwise you would have explained
in detail just how you ended up with a laptop with "no data." That makes
it in turn difficult to believe you know much about security.

I just said: "no data I care about". And yes, I know about browser caches, etc...
You are not the only one here to understand that, sorry  (even if you like to tell
a lot about your "knowledge" :-)
And no, I don't have to tell you anything about my laptop, are you joking?

Please take care your own data, that appparently you distribute everywhere,
and maybe you get stress because of that...
