Question : International travel and laptop encryption - are legal / export concerns warranted

Hello-
I am starting a project to roll out full-disk encryption to our company laptops to protect data and intellectual property from loss if the laptop goes missing.  I have selected Truecrypt as the encryption software and will have the laptop boot up to a 'missing operating system' prompt, at which point the user will need to type a key to finish the boot process.  At this time am not planning a hidden OS / Partition, just the full-disk encryption for the sake of simplicity.  The PC will travel and return with the employee, we will not leave it (on purpose, anyway) at the remote location.  My question is a legal one regarding travel overseas with this encryption in place.

As I understand it, there is a short list of 'embargoed' countries (Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Sudan, and Syria) that we cannot travel to with encryption without a license.  I found a list of countries that restrict the import of encryption without a license or do not allow it outright (Burma, Belarus, China, Hungary, Iran, Israel, Morocco, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Tunisia, and the Ukraine).  We do not travel to countries in that list, we generally visit the Netherlands, India, the UK, France, Germany, and a few others.

Does anyone have experience with or knowledge about international travel with encrypted laptops?  I would rather not send an executive overseas with one of these devices and have them end up in some prison situation...

OC 2007 R2 out of the box did not have the ability to properly talk to Outlook 2010 64-bit. There are two solutions:

1) Update OC 2007 R2 with the latest patches. An update back in January addresses the Outlook 64-bit issue.

2) Install Outlook 2010 32-bit (it will run on Windows 7 64-bit just fine).
