well, isn't security kind of about setting the "filter" for potential attackers? You can break a padlock with hammer, but it will keep out random people from wandering in. Having to rewire and program stuff to access this would keep many types of away. The kind of attacker who would want to go through all that trouble wouldn't be kept away even with more secure methods most likely. Though I guess you could just take the drive and pay someone to deal with it, but still it would need at least some knowledge to even know what should be done with it.
