That article is about network traffic.

Sensitive material on one's laptop hard drive is a different concern.  If 
it's a concern of yours, check out some open source software called 
TrueCrypt, http://www.truecrypt.org/ , which allows you to create and 
encrypted container file, which may be hidden.  Once that file is mounted, 
which requires a password, it looks like just another drive.
