Well, I think isn't neccesary to be that ironic.

I'm sure you know the difference between working with wired or
wireless networks.

But following your idea, Why we do session-locking if anyone could
stop the machine, start with a LIVE-CD and replace root password, or
even take the HD with him??? or even the entire laptop!

Do you want to have a better OS? I want, and in my honest opinion this
kind of stupid things improve the OS.

Have a nice day.
