I work for a public school system and all of our portable devices have the district seal laser etched on the exterior of the device along with GPS tracking devices embedded internally that automatically notify the network of the current location each time the devices are powered up. While these devices do nothing to protect the data, they will facilitate the recovery of a lost or stolen device, as well as capturing and prosecuting any culprits. Local law enforcement authorities recently recovered (5) stolen devices using this technology.
The bottom line is that it is the user's responsibility to protect both the device and the data. In my opinion, sensitive data should always be protected by encryption if it is carried off site.
