Yep you need a security rig that requires you to use a keyed lock to remove the case cover, unless you are encrypting filesystems. You can avert the problem with winXP or with rescue disks by putting a boot password in the BIOS, if the BIOS permits it, and then all you have to worry about is that someone will pop the case cover, move a jumper next to the battery to clear CMOS, then boot on anyway, using the "rescue disk". Well, I have a device that will prevent that, if ever I have time to implement it. Civileme
