And conversely, if you move the hard disk to another computer, you can no 
longer read it. And if your motherboard breaks down, instant data loss.

In addition, I do not trust the TPM or any other Treacherous Computing 
component.

If you want to rely on a hardware key, it should at least be on a removable 
USB token (a keyfile on a plain mass-storage USB stick is enough!), not 
hard-wired into the computer like the TPM.
