Ralph Nader and his gang tried to do something similar to the "keypad to
start" idea.  They had a federal statute passed to make car
manufacturers install ignition cut-offs in the seat belt circuitry.  If
you were not buckled in, the engine would not start.  This law was
soon striken from the books when some women was assualted, raped, and
beaten and was unable to escape because her car would not start - silly
person, in all that hurry she forgot to buckle up!  Good luck with
trying to remember a *14 digit* number in that sort of situation!
