The only way we have determined that this is possible is with physical access to the computer. As in any security scheme, that pretty well trumps anything that doesn't rely on the user logging in every time, and time-limited sessions.

As with any form of security, it's not a matter of absolutes, but rather a balancing act between user discomfort and reasonable protection. Nothing is foolproof, and the real problem is the user in any case.
