This is so easily hackable! Just borrow someone's key for 10 minutes and make an iso image of the drive.

you say that now, but i'm sure they have thought of that, i'm sure there's some kind of really strong security on it.
like...uhhh...it could check a serial number of some sort that's imbedded right in the disk drive, and you can duplicate it....or something

HAha... now we're going to get a whole new breed of trojans.

And it would be almost tooooo easy to make a iso image like Torrey said. Soooo hackable, soooo convient for government officals.

Yeah, and getting a key cut isn't that hard either.

The flash drive car key was a neat idea though. Even though it shouldn't really be used I wish they'd use the flash drive part for in car mp3 players.
