Please stop quoting XKCD 538 like doctrine. Reality is way more complex. E.g. if a company has a policy of wiping external drives and SD cards before each trip and the policy is religiously [or automatically] followed it becomes clear that harassing employees on a trip for having wiped drives is pointless. Also a lot of organizations that are ready to torture people do that regardless of the quality of information that they can gain.
