Yes, you're right that WoL is possible.  Maybe I should clarify that if power was 
removed, the server is secure and safe from cracking.  But even this is false, since a 
physical attack could gain access to the hard drive and any sensitive data it 
contains, or could vandalize the unit and render it useless.

then it's not very efficient.

This is not even true. What about "Wake on LAN" implementations?
