This is true, and anyone with half a brain can realise this, however this doesn't mean it's not worth it. The lock on your house and car are easily picked by a skilled criminal, failing that a brick will achieve a similar result for the unskilled. Do you not bother locking up when you leave your home? It's not simply an either/or situation, there is a place and use for encryption as a deterrent in these cases, however technically flawed it may be. You'll never stop a determined thief, true, but you can at least deter the far more numerous casual ones.
