I don't think, frankly, that this is worth worrying about on any platform. The main danger seems to be if someone has physical access to the machine, but if bad guys have physical access to your machine, locked hard drives should be the least of your worries.

Hey, General, we agree. My take was only on the Mac 'cause I was pinging the Mac Ping list... but this type of exploit requires too many ifs... if this happens, then if that happens, then if this is set this way, THEN, maybe it can be bad.
