be able to compromise a machine installed that way but no doubt other
security experts will comment on that.
By the way if your root partition was not encrypted then someone with
physical access to your machine could boot into single user mode and get
root access - hence encrypting the root partition is probably the only way
to avoid that - unless someone knows a different way in?
