Nothing interesting, really - just some fresh BS.
AES-128 is an approved US Government algorithm for protecting Classified information up to SECRET level.
Read carefully through this: http://www.nsa.gov/ia/programs/suiteb_cryptography/index.shtml
Either you didn't understand what that person was telling you, or he doesn't have a clue.

Subject: [Fed-Talk] FileVault2 Security Config
So I had an interesting conversation with our security folks today… someone lost an ipad and luckily it is aes256… FV2 however is AES128.
I was told AES128 is a joke in the government's eyes… doesnt make me feel to good that's for sure!!
I know windows bitlocker will allow you to force it to 256 with a setting… is there somewhere in Lion you can configure it to use 256 (I realize there is a performance hit most likely), but now I'm being told AES128 will not suffice for security approval.
Hard to believe my iPad is more secure than my MBPro.
