Hit the button, the bit goes low, and you : have 15 seconds to lower the securelevel before the bit goes high again : and blocks the change (default action). Could also be wired to the : (rather pointless) turbo switch that is still being put on a lot of : cases... : : Yes? No? Stupid idea? Usually they are called "Joysticks" :-) One could hack the joy driver to allow this.
