Sonar Keyboard Logs You Out To Protect Your Data

Zothecula writes "While the simple act of logging off a workstation is an obvious way to protect sensitive data – like that used by healthcare providers, pharmacies, banks and government agencies – it is all too easy for users to forget and leave the data not only viewable, but also editable by anyone who happens to pass by. Custom keyboard supplier Key Source International (KSI) has developed a keyboard that does the remembering for you, logging out as soon as the user physically leaves the keyboard."

I'm sure that would work GREAT in a hospital setting where a nurse keying in data has to jump up and run down the hall to a patient who is crashing..... and then gets fired because she forgot to log herself out on 3 occasions. /sarcasm
