Thumbs up Astronomy Techique as a security measure

Wired article on using glitter nail polish as a way to protect the integrity of your laptop and as a way to check if you laptop has been broken into...

How's this related to astronomy? Think "Blink Comparison"...

I am always skeptical of these things, so after I figure out that my laptop has been tampered with and data stolen then what?

I do find it comical that people will be essentially plate solving photos of their laptop.

My question when I read it was:... you are in China and you show them a photo of the nail polish before and then try to explain the differences between the photos.

I see an instant "I think this guy needs to be in one of our fine mental institutions"...
