What about on media that is nearly unreadable these days? I've got stuff on mag tape, punch cards, ST506 drives and SASI disks.

No, we should all encrypt everything by default. Otherwise encryption looks suspicious and laws like RIPA can target people who use it. If everyone encrypted everything it would be much harder to make prosecute any particular individual.
Key management? (Score:5, Insightful)
The difficult questions are:
- How do you manage your encryption keys?
- What is your procedure for changing them?
- How many bits of entropy does your key really have? Did you say you used AES-256?
Encryption is easy. Proper key management is hard.

Except your OS and applications are not secret filesystem aware and will leave traces in the form of mount logs, recently accessed files list, and so forth,which a competent forensic investigator will find, at which point a court will have you jailed for contempt until you provide all the passwords and be severely biased against you for ther rest of the proceedings or your "business associates" will beat the additional passwords out of you and then some.
