> the only way to bypass PIN would be an actual backdoor in Bitlocker. no way around that. an actual backdoor in microsoft encryption was never documented, and there are Snowden documents showing FBI pressing Microsoft into introducing one and Microsoft refusing

A USB stick containing a masterkey to decrypt a bitlocker volume is literally the definition of a backdoor.

no, to access a bitlocker volume which automatically decrypts

thats an LPE, not an encryption backdoor

the USB stick doesnt decrypt bitlocker, it just gives you root after bitlocker was AUTOMATICALLY decrypted
