If you are going somewhere where armed militias - governmental, tribal, rebels, whatever - might be present, you do NOT use encryption on your hardware and you do NOT use passwords!!! Whatever OS that is on your device let it log in automatically. And you should use Windows so some outback militia who decides to take a look at your data has the chance to search through all your data as fast and seamless as possible.
If they think you have the slightest thing to hide, you might disappear in a jail - or end up dead.
(An advice I got from a field doctor from Medicins sans Frontiers).
To avoid trouble I also suggest that you get authorisation from any local authority before pulling out your GPS system in public. That stuff is very dangerous voodoo.

Nor the SysAdmins
You just scared the crap out of me. I just started to listen to that Bloodhound Gang album, and then I saw your comment...
A coincidence? I think NOT!
