See, this is the problem with people's conception of FDE. This is actually a very silly solution to the problem.
The right approach is to recognize what FDE is good at (minimizing the risk that casual thieves will get data in addition to valuable parts, and protecting computers that can frequently be powered all the way off from even advanced attackers), and then use something better to protect sensitive data.
