How much time have you spent studying encryption? It isn't that simple.
Also, lets assume your correct, and Charlie Epps is the one that stole your nook with the idea that he will figure out your CC/Name.
1. It is ONLY the last 8 digits of your credit card number.
2. Your name is probably written on the device. You don't want it returned if you loose it right?
But, lets even go further an say that this infinitesimally small probability happens... your credit card has fraud protection, you are not liable for the charges and your CC company will issue you a new number. Yes, a bit annoying... I'll admit since it happened to me recently.
But, lets face it... stealing your wallet with all your CC's in it is exceedingly easier than stealing your nook or encrypted files and being able to get your CC number from that.
