losetup -p5 [...] 5< file

reads the passphrase from "file" through file descriptor 5. The shell 
will do all opening and closing for you.

echo <pass> | losetup -p0 [...]

will read it from stdin (ie. the output of echo).

It has become fashionable in the post Cold War world to label
opponents as terrorists [...]. By doing so, the authorities instill
within society a culture of fear, leading people to accept that their
rights (and the rights of others) be trampled on for the sake of the
common good. In other words, it justifies the loss of privacy and a
state of surveillance they would otherwise not accept. Both communism
and fascism were examples of this technique used to perfection.
