This is simply not true.

FIPS security profiles are public record. Here's the security profile 
for the cryptographic module used in several of Seagate's enterprise SEDs:

http://csrc.nist.gov/groups/STM/cmvp/documents/140-1/140sp/140sp1299.pdf

The process of obtaining the certificate is accountability in and of 
itself. The device or software is tested by an accredited test lab to 
ensure that it works as described in the security profile. If anything 
fails to work as documented then the device or software is sent back to 
the vendor to correct the fault or update the security profile.
