This has been all over the news today. It seems another unwarranted  
headline grabber (sorry to IP person whose work it is).

The first point of security of data is physical security and from the  
quick read you need to push somebody away from their laptop, quickly  
spray the machine with something to cool it down very quick, hope the  
person did not disable booting from external drives (which you should  
do if running disk. encr.), and quickly boot from an external drive.  
If you can do to all that effort - I'd recommend installing a key  
logger - simpler with better results ;)

Interesting and worthwhile research though.
