Well, it does protect against offline modification (i.e., "borrow" the 
computer or the storage devices, put the storage devices into another 
computer, trojan the OS, and return the "borrowed" device without getting 
caught; or even just boot the computer from a malicious boot device and 
trojan the OS from there, if the boot order is not locked). It does not 
protect against online modification (i.e., attack the system while it is 
running and the disk is decrypted).
