Bryan, I think you completely missed the context of this statement. This type of attack on BitLocker would only work when it is used in "basic mode" (where the encrypted disk is mounted automatically without requiring a user to enter any secrets). It is not advisable to use BitLocker in the basic mode. A weak software implementation can not be used to undermine security provided by TPM or Seagate's Trusted Drive. TPM and the Trusted Drive are based on the specifications by the Trusted Computing Group.
