The onus is on you to protect yourself.
These steps are just good personal security - you are also prepared for a typical laptop theft. If some non-government thug takes off with your computer, then what? Same problem, same solution. Your ID and data are safe.
Consider using a pendrive/sd card to run the OS from - can be done with Linux and (if your kung-fu is strong) XP. Nothing will be on the hard drive at any time - it isn't being used.
I'm a 'security nazi'.
