I use FDE because my locks are easily pickable. I don’t trust the landlord’s son that lives in the unit above mine. Also the computer is near a big window. Property crime is a popular activity in the area, so the smash-and-grab is a plausible threat. Defence in depth, though, so I still lock the front and interior office doors.

Another specific threat could be protection against government seizure.
