Thinking about how much the iPod cost I began to think about how good a target the iPod is for thieves, it's a small, light object that is worth hundreds of dollars. I had never really thought about this before. I think that Apple needs to have some sort compulsory security pass to be able to access the iPod interface.
Although this could be a little bit more inconvenient for iPod users it could deter dozens of robbers from trying to steal someones iPod. I know that the iPod has an optional lock that you can apply to it but maybe they should make this lock compulsory for iPods.
I think that if the technology was available at a reasonable price then the ideal security measure would be a built in finger print scanner that only accepts the user which is assigned at the first turn on of the iPod.
Perhaps if people did not want to go through the lock every time then a backup security measure could be to have an unique code in each iPod that iTunes reads and every time someone wants to sync their iPod with iTunes they have to enter a code.
You don't have to agree with me but personally I value the safety of my precious iPod

Here is a completely unique, 100% straight out of my brain and never found on the web before, true blue unique idea for you.
A small helium inflatable airbag, nicely concealed just ahead of the earpiece plugin.
Why? When someone messes with your ipod, the airbag deplays and the ipod floats away into the stratosphere, where the fun begins.
The goodyear blimp crew can float up there catching all these wayward ipods - and return them to their rightful owners unharmed.
Who knows, maybe someday an alien might add some cool tunes for ya... for free! lol
Alright, back to the real world.
