Actually, no it's not:
- If they get physical access to the machine, all bets are off anyway.
- You can password protect the boot process both in BIOS and boot
loader (lilo|grub).
- Security is a range, from keeping the paper boy out through
keeping fibbies/CIA/KGB/Milnick out. Who do you worry about?
Plan accordingly.
