NSA Vs. Linux

[Joseph Spacone]

While thinking about two of the threads that have been on here recently I
came up with the following, which I hope will be an interesting question.

There was one thread from a guy (sorry, can't remember his name) who had
lost his password or something, and needed to get back into a drive.  He
wanted to know how to "root this puppy."  He got all sorts of suggestions
for basically "breaking" into the hard drive.  It sounded pretty easy.

Then we had a thread about the NSA recently....

So what would happen if a sinister agent broke into your house and wanted to
look around on your computer system?  Could his solution be as simple as a
boot or "rescue" disk?  Pardon me, but that doesn't sound too secure.  Or am
I missing something?
