I'd think two things:

1.  I'd rather have my data encrypted when on a flash device, so that
it might resist attack even if the device fell into the wrong hands;

2.  There seems to be more than enough nondeterminism as to data
access that I'd never consider it truly "clean."

A date with Mr Fireplace should be in the cards...
