Agreed. You should also fully encrypt the hard drive (while we are at it, harden the kernel, restrict applications, encrypt all files with GPG, etc etc). However, adding a BIOS password will protect against some specific situations. Like, you leave the laptop unattended for a short time and someone wants to use a usb drive or cd to boot the machine to try and do something.
I asked out of curiosity more than anything.
