If the keyboard is the only means of physical access then it certainly can 
stop a malicious user.. a malicious user who say... wants to reboot into 
single user mode, which if you were not aware, does not require a password.

Anyway, I'll heed the advice of the joker that suggested this topic had

possibly a security related question?  Absolutely. I can be satisfied with 
a draw.
