There are any number of ways to get a privileged shell from a system
when physically present at booting. The important part is that your data
is still encrypted without the keys.

Bug description:
  You should have root filesystem encrypted by LUKS. Start operational system and enter incorrect passphrase for root filesystem three times. Wait several seconds and you give busybox shell with superuser rights from initramdisk.
  System should not open shell. It should ask for passphrase forever or show error, but don't open shell.
