well my thought was more of something that was small and self powered
that would be inside the laptop.  that way the laptop in question would
not need to be powered on for it to activate.

if a laptop gets stolen a software solution is not good since it has a
high chance of being wiped.  if parted out then the wiped drive would
just go on eBay along with the ram, mobo, screen, etc.
