That's where you start getting into the trusted computing base.

However...

I'm not sure I want to use an encrypted filesystem, however. There
comes a point where getting access to your data involves taking you
into a soundproofed room, and engage in activities that do not involve
*major* organ failure.

This is one of the reasons I'm not terribly excited by "biometrics".
It's a _terrible_ authentication scheme, when you think about it.
