Well, that depends on your definition of easy :) First of all it would
require you to know that there is such a thing as a swap partition. I
think that rules out about 99% of the people who might find my laptop on
a train :)
But I totally understand if you want more security than that,
personally I just think that anyone with that level of sofistication
(can dump a swap partition and analyze it to get my password) will be
able to hack me anyway, if they wanted to.
