I think this is the only real protection. Anything else can be worked around easily
Encrypting the files themselves is not feasible. There are a gazillion of them. (I counted.) Can you encrypt an existing file system? I suspect not.
Not presently, no
One could have a BIOS password. This sounds best. But I guess these are easily gotten around? It sounds too simple a solution. Or one that leads to other odd problems.
Screwdriver->hard drive->computer without BIOS password Modern hard drives have a built-in password protection, that forces you to enter it on boot regardless of which machine it's in.
