As always, it depends on your threat model and paranoia level, but most Linux flavors do just fine with full disk encryption using LUKS. I'm *not* an expert; I usually just use the guided setup unless something
goes horribly awry.
Check out the BusKill; I've been wanting to make my own knockoff for a while and just haven't gotten around to it. It'll work with any *nix,

Oh neat, thanks for sharing that. As stated I was just using a script w/ poweroff - but will l00k into this option. I don't neeed INSANE protection, but I would like to know I have SOME security so I don't
pull a Dread Pirate mistake.

The great thing is using it with a breakaway magnetic cable. Your
laptop is snatched (or you struggle) and it's locked or shut down (I
would do both - lock it and run the poweroff script immediately after), depending on your script. You could do it with a regular USB stick, you just have to be more mindful when you get jumped, whether it's normal thugs or thugs with badges.
Yea, I got some of the same ideas after l00king at the buskill project. I didn't see where I could use it w/ my own USB drive, but I'll p0ke around again.
Basically you need to configure Linux to run your shutdown script when a USB event (unplugging your device) takes place.
