What is the argument here about the CIA / NSA or any other US Federal 3 letter agency? If your device is secured via TPM or some other scheme that relies on an industry to secure your device they aren't going to be doing "DIMM popping". They are just going to get the master keys from whomever issued them and use that bypass whatever they need to on the device.



You're missing the forest.

The point being is that Microsoft's implementation on Win 11 Home ("device encryption", aka unconfigurable BitLocker) is sufficient for nearly all of their user base. If you're a target of a 3-letter agency, additional security measures are required.
