Title:
  hdparm should enable security freeze by default

Status in hdparm package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  If harddisk security is not used, then the drives should always be in
  state "security freezed" so no hacker can encrypt the disk to make it
  unusable.

  So please make sure the following: 
  - hdparm is installed by default
  - the following is enabled by default: 
  # --security-freeze Freeze the drive's security status
  #security_freeze
  - hdparm gets reliably called after boot and resume from standby

  (resume from standby does not work for me, currently searching for a
  solution. but this probably should be a separate bug)
