I'm not exactly a frequent world traveler, but I've been to Taiwan and back recently for business and saw no sign of DHS checks on anybody going through US customs on the way out or in.
On the other hand, using encryption for private data is a good thing. I've been using TrueCrypt for all my personal and business data for over a year. It is easy to use, reliable and offers a spectrum of encryption feature from encryting and hiding volumes to simply having an encrypted file that is a virtual encrypted "drive".
