I'm not familiar with LUK, but by the description it seems you might be
missing the point: it doesn't matter if the _user_ has root access per
default or not, if the driver is running in kernel-mode - which seems to
be the case for LUK - you're opening up to the same security problems.
Unless you have something like ndiswrapper, which has its own set of
problems and limitations.
