I don't think this is much a problem anymore, as most people with laptops that travel use bitlocker to make sure that cloning of a drive results in a useless copy (if you don't use it on your laptop, then you should).
You can also use various 3rd party encryption. The best one are the ones that also use a physical hardware (e.g. NitroKey, Mercury etc...). The Mercury system is interesting in that if it's pulled, it destroys itself.
