As soon as a 3rd party has either root or physical access to your linux machine this party will be able to gain access to all volumes which are currently in use. E.g. it is trivial as user root to obtain all access permissions of any user on the system.
That is not true for encrypted disks as long as I don't enter the key (and the one who gained root-access has a keylogger installed). The data should be safe at least until then. Otherwise encryption would be senseless - you can get root on every machine with a boot-CD in minutes.
