Would that prevent the end user from adding another layer of security onto the device? Kind of how you can log on to my machine, but that doesn't make it any easier to decrypt my Truecrypt partition (I think...).

  If it communicates over the network though, all of your traffic would still be recorded and decryptable. You'd have to exclusively use end-to-end encrypted services.
