FDE is not enough against physical access, see the evil maid attack.

  Well obviously, FDE also doesn't protect you if someone is standing over your shoulder reading you type the password. The point is that leaving a machine turned on, while not in your physical possession puts all of your data at risk. My company would freak if I did this and I don't even work in the security space.

    As you know, the evil maid attack is something different. It's better to be precise and not give a false-sense of security to readers who may be less informed about this subject.
