My understanding of the Security Lab spin is that it tends to be
analysis and forensic tools, often booted from live media to avoid
disturbing the system in question.

However, booting from external media is anathema to the idea of trusted
boot, where the entire idea is that there's a chain of measured trust
from the BIOS to the bootloader to the OS, unless you're pre-seeding
the BIOS/bootloader with the hash/signature/etc. of the Security Spin.
