You know that Control-Alt-Delete was never meant to be part of the original
IBM PC?  It "escaped" the lab.

I read an article interviewing the engineer that developed that at IBM.  He
said that it was deliberately awkward so it couldn't be performed
accidentally.

I'd use VeraCrypt and do the whole hard drive if you go encryption.  My
opinion, of course, but in my IT career, I found that to be a good solution
(there's a Linux filesystem that can do that also).
