Haha my thoughts exactly...

I personally can't stand the idea of my data living on a device that I don't physically own and control (and I'm not Hillary Clinton either...)

Really important stuff like legal documents and sensitive financial info. live on a drive that's not ever connected to the Internet. I go offline and then work on it, unplug and only then go back online after I'm done using those things.

If it's on a computer connected to the Internet, it's not 100% secure - period. It can be 99% secure but sometimes that's just not good enough. If you simply work offline you're secure - and it doesn't cost anything.
