And that's because they are crypto bigots. Basically you must ask
yourself "What is my data worth?". I seriously doubt I have any data worth
brute forcing on my machine. The physical security aspect is far more
likely to be the cause of compromise.
As the old saying goes, key length is merely a penis extension. :)
 
Twofish is a decent algorithm by all accounts, and there are several other
DES contestants that are equally as good (if not all as freely available).
