Hi Gary,
Would this work for you - A MacBook Pro with a Seagate Momentus drive including hardware-based encryption using WinMagic for Mac, Windows, and Linux, certificate management? The Seagate Momentus drives are FIPS 140-2 certified and I know all of DOE prefers hardware-based encryption.

We have been told by our Cyber Security folks that we cannot use CheckPoint due to the fact that it is an Israeli product. We have been looking at a Mac version of Credant, but my testing does not show it to be ready for prime time at this point. At this point I do not see a viable solution for disk encryption on the Mac that will meet the DOE requirements.
With the situation with cameras in all the new laptops and monitors (the display is a single unit and Holman's cannot open it to disable the camera) and the lack of a disk encryption solution, I can foresee a ban on Mac laptops coming. I hope I'm wrong.
