But..... if the laptop is properly encrypted then the details that were on the laptop won't be in
anybody's hands. That was my point, hence the specification that it was the 'details' that were in their hands (and not the laptop) and the question I asked about the encryption (which you cleverly chose to edit out of the quote you made).
And that laptop would be secured how? What happens if someone breaks into his home? How do you know that you can trust someone to have an unmonitored lapto in their home for extended periods of time? What if someone in their family compromises it (unlimited access, unlimited time) and subverts the VPN?
Even if they're using VPN there is still some processing occuring on the device, what about that information? How would you protect that?
