anyone considered the possible negative aspect of this feature? What if some unsavory people get the hold of the kill code? They can effectively hold your laptop hostage. Or what about people locking down others' laptops as a payback -- I still remember seeing 2 students get into an argument and when one stepped away, the other quickly changed the pin on his "friend's" phone and then locked it down. The victim turned white from rage when his girlfriend kept calling him and he couldnt answer her calls because the phone was locked.
