Remote wipe schemes are easy for dumb thieves to circumvent because they
just have to not hook up the stolen hardware to the Internet to avoid them.

Encryption, when done well (meaning strong pass phrases on top of strong
encryption), requires a whole different level of smart thief. After setup
the only inconvenience is entering the pass phrase. But since doing that
reminds you that you are protecting your data, it should not become a major
inconvenience. (Small price to pay.)
