<pre>I can see the usefulness of this, but this also sounds like security theatre.
If you just implement it like this, then you add a big DoS, because people can
pull your kbd and you cannot unlock your session anymore, ever. Unless of
course you accept keyboards that are plugged back in. But in that case, the
whole excercise is moot.
Hence I am not convinced that this is really a sound idea, I must say.</pre>
