System security is a concern for almost all people; just the degree to which they care about it differs. If you re just someone who plays games and does nothing else on the computer then you might not care who gets access to it. Encryption is a means to guarantee that only you or someone you explicitly allow can access your data.
Businesses in particular should have a policy of encrypting every laptop that leaves their premises because of the potential of damage not only to their operations but also inconveniences that may be caused to their customers if their data is leaked. We've heard tales of laptops and USB drives with social security numbers of US citizens and credit card numbers of any number of people simply being lost. These could have mitigated if only the computers were encrypted.
However, this realm of computer security is not only for business people and there are reasons why you may want to consider encryption for your drives even if you re not a human rights worker in China. It generally makes more sense for laptops since you're more likely to lose the entire hard disk with it if stolen. Pictures of your family or friends, bank account details or even just your personal diary could be things that you wouldn't want ending up in some strangers hands. Truecrypt is free open source software that could help mitigate the issue.
