Kurt,

Yeah, I tested Bitlocker on a laptop with a USB stick years ago.
Encrypting a server in a remote datacenter with a USB stick doesn't give me
a warm fuzzy feeling.  Its an option though.  I have tested a Chrome GPO to
force the default download directory to the encrypted folder and that seems
to fit the bill.
