I’ve actually rigged my computer to demagnetize, then melt my hard drive when the case is opened. Overkill, maybe, but nobody is getting to my pr0n without my authorization.

Thermite is the answer. After three failed login attempts, a fuse is lit (maybe a model rocket igniter?) and BAM! computer and your leg is gone.

Didn’t mean to imply that it’d be easy or practical. Just possible in a theoretical sense.

Don’t do this.If anyone is after your data and they can’t figure out how to reach the content on your HDD without booting off that partition, then they wouldn’t know how to get around a regular windows login either.

Either it works, and you risk losing/damaging your USB key(s), or it doesn’t, and there are far better security measures. Either way, a terrible idea.
