Even easier to get around. Truecrypt uses your passphrase to decrypt the key which is then used to decrypt the disk. With a ID tag it would just match the tag generated number with it's own algorithm and then decrypt the disk . All the evil maid would then have to do is add a line to the Truecrypt loader that said if key=999 unlock anyway.
