I try not to comment on stuff like this, because it can go a hundrend different directions, but simply from a "computer" security standpoint, these don't work. I've worked cases that involved some sort of computer user id and we always get the same responses....."it wasn't me, I left my id by my desk and someone must have stolen it and accessed the computer" "my wallet was stolen and it had my user id written down in it". "I walked away from my computer without logging off, so someone must have done it then". There is an excuse for everything, so a "commission" to forward this thought would be a waste of time and money.
