As far as I can see in this thread, it consists in hostility against

is indeed a security issue.

That doesn't make any sense.  Do you consider it hostility that the owner can't extract his user password or the root password from the system?
The owner can change passwords or work around them with rescue modes
and similar methods, if something get messed up.
In this case the disk content will be lost for ever as soon
as the system is powered off.
Is anything worst than losing the data?
I personally always extract the encryption keys and store them
in a safe place, so I will always be able to grab the disk
and recover the data whatever may happen to the system.
