This isn't a bug, it's working as designed.
The fact is to perform these steps you need physical access to the
machine in question. If you have physical access to a machine, then all
bets are off, you've got full access to the system. You could remove the
hard drive and put it in another machine and read the files, or in the
case of a laptop, pick up the entire machine and walk away with it.
You can mitigate this by encrypting the drive on your machine. This will
make it impossible to do these steps without knowing the key used to
encrypt the drive.
