Its not a matter of that its easy to get into.  Especially when it comes
to physical access.  Every OS has that problem.

Its a matter of what options are available to the user to configure
himself, and decide just what balance he wants to achieve between security
and difficulty of use.

If someone gets physical access to your machine, regardless of the OS, or
hardware, you can't guarantee security.
