I'm not sure what you mean by that? Do you mean that the attacker can force you to wake up and unlock the computer? In that case FDE is not moot anyway, no?

For me, the reason I use FDE is in the case I lose or forget my computer somewhere, I do not want the legal liabilities with a thief accessing my customer's source code.
