All I can say is that the case would also have to be closed with security screws or pop rivets because I’d just open the side and tap the power pins with a screwdriver. I’ve seen computers locked down with bios passwords and giant thumbscrews in the back. Hello cmos battery.

you just use one of the lock switches and wire it to the power button (in my case, I wired it right to the pushbutton switch, which was broken)

Breaking up the regular flow can be a good thing. Plus it’s like getting a bunch of hacks all at once, instead of just the usual one per day.

Perhaps you could appease the endless negative viewpoints by adding a small amount of editorial comment around each link, and formatting the annotated list as a paragraph or two, boingboing or slashdot style.
