I am not terribly tech savvy But I have to think that if government employees are going to carry around devices with peoples information on them (ie IRS) Or information that could pose a security risk Hire security measures need to be in place. If your device is lost or stolen the information should be able to be remotely removed Or some type of electronic self destruct. For the everyday person and their work computer it could be extremely productive to be able to take it with you. Again some companies have security risks That could be protected in a similar way.
