So secure it locks the owners out.

Yes, if someone sets a passcode and then forgets it, they will be locked out forever and lose all of their files. There is no way to prove physical ownership of the device, pretty mich the passcode proves who the owner is.

If I forget my LUKS passphrase no power on heaven or earth can recover my data

  • St. Gabriel, sitting on his cloud, looking at his Nvidia GPU supercomputer (also a cloud) fabbed by God, could totally bruteforce your LUKS key.

  • That's sort of the point of LUKS, and it's self-inflicted and your own choice because you didn't back up the key.
