Also interesting is the requirement that all DOD computers include TPM (1.2
or higher). See next to last paragraph of the memorandum at
http://iase.disa.mil/policy-guidance/dod-dar-tpm-decree07-03-07.pdf
This memo was pointed to by the story referenced below.

Subject: New DoD encryption mandate
According to http://www.fcw.com/article103467-08-13-07-Print the US
Defense Department has mandated that all sensitive but unclassified
information on mobile devices must be encrypted in compliance with FIPS
140-2. "Mobile devices" include laptops, PDAs, CDs, flash drives, etc.
