Solve : Power on Security?

1.	Solve : Power on Security?
Answer» I would like to prevent my laptop being powered up unless a certain usb flash DRIVE is connected - a power-on dongle. This sounds to me to be a simple security measure but i cant SEE any such thing advertised for sale.Because there isn't such a thing. The only way to prevent a COMPUTER from powering up is to physically disconnect the power (either at the power supply or at the motherboard). There are methods to prevent people from getting access once the thing is turned on, however. BIOS passwords, disabling guest accounts and passwording your own, fingerprint scanners, etc. Or something like this company offers for $129: http://www.securikey.com/Thanks for that. I followed the link to the usb key, the ad says they've PERFECTED a mac 'usb key' and are working on a vista version. I'll save the link and keep checking. Cheers!!
