# A Python script report external disks and encryption status.

# Notes ########################################################################
#   Example output:
#       <result>3 external drives. 1 encrypted.</result>
#
#   Offline encrypted (ejected, but still attached) drives will cause odd results.
#   Checking for physical and external is probably overkill...
