Here's an engineering opportunity- how about a kill switch circuit that  
turns off power to everything but the low drain kill switch? Every time you  press 
the lock button on your remote, you essentially disconnect the battery.  
Yeah, I know there are issues with clocks, or alarms, but that could be gotten  
around. Maybe also an option to self-kill if not used for, say, an hour. It  
would also be a security enhancement. 
 
How about it, Toby?
