> I think that article is sort of misleading.  It uses DMA over firewire to grab the in-memory decryption key for the bitlocker and truecrypt drives.  It doesn't ACTUALLY break the encryption.  The computer has to be seized while powered on.  If the computer is powered off, you can no longer use the product to get access to the crypto keys.  Additionally, if you have firewire disabled (or don't have firewire at all), the product is useless.
