I think your paranoia is indeed running a bit high if the alternative is
that some blocks escape bleaching "forever" when they were freed shortly
before a crash.
For a portable system, the risk of theft is highest when the laptop is
unattended and idle -- and that's the point where the bleaching process
would have time to catch up; most likely, the unbleached list would be
small or empty..
