Hey.

Do you leave your PC or in standby when traveling? When you leave your desk at work?

More importantly, do you think that end users would expect password protection to work? Even when their PC is on?

There's plenty of scenarios where a PC may end up being in another persons control while powered on. This is a relevant threat scenario. Deal with it.
