I know from experimenting that if I boot another Linux OS (regardless of media used) and then try to access the data on separate a LUKS encrypted device, I can't see that data without providing the passphrase. As a matter of fact you are prompted to supply the passphrase. If you boot a Microsoft Windows OS you can't see the data anyhow...Microsoft Windows doesn't recognize non-Microsoft filesystems such as ext3.
