Security and Encryption Faq - 22.6.8

I recommend either PGP Tools which comes free with PGP or Kremlin.
course this is not necessary for files within your encrypted drive.

It may or may not be depending on the value of your data and your usage
habits. When a volume is mounted all its data is accessible to anyone
with permission to access that machine (or anyone who gains it,
including the dreaded "hacker" or whatever bit of malware you might run
across). Since your scenario revolves around running an entire
operating system off that virtual drive for "security" it stands to
reason that users might have sensitive data stored there also. So file
encryption is still a very important part of the puzzle for a lot of
people. Possible the majority of your audience.

The way you explain it misleads readers into thinking that Truecrypt
makes all their data safe regardless. That's precisely the way they
SHULDN'T think. :(
