Hi Steve
Not as an Admin they won't. They will have access to the user folder
its self but the contents of any folder except the Public and shared
folders will be barred.
As Root on any OSX or *nix Box you have unlimited Access. Root will
disregard any system level user protection.
However there are 3rd party products like Intego DiskGuard that
encrypt the drive at directory level regardless of what system is
trying to read the drive.
The two rules of complete computer security:
1: Don't buy a computer
2: If you buy a computer - don't turn it on
