Re: Permission

Well, the thing apparently has full disk encryption, so it's hardly likely to matter one way or the other.

Backing up a soft control (the no classified content policy) with a hard, reliable control (full disk encryption, if done properly) is perfectly reasonable. So long as the laptop was powered down at the time and not just sleeping, there's almost nothing to worry about.
