Well, how about this : build a PXE type CD/DVD with all your business applications (you could automate a nightly build to keep antivirus, patches, etc current). Do "folder redirection" or similar to mount all user-specific bits from a USB thumb drive (itself an encrypted volume).
Then your "traveling salesman" needs only the DVD and thumbdrive -- neither of which contain batteries. You could go one better and write a wrapper around the bootloader so that the contents of the CD/DVD (the O/S part, where you might have a corporate VPN client or something) are encrypted as well [in linux this would be easy .. in Windows I'm not so sure?] Personally, I'm worried about what happens when some wacky terrorist gets caught with a stick of Semtex in his keister... /mike.
