first of all, my first thought about disconnects is not about security, its about safety. I will not wire a car that does not have a disconnect you can reach from the drivers seat. i have seen too many cars burn from electrical shorts and know a few that have been saved (including occupants). Ive been on a campaign in the NSRA to include a disconnect in the safety inspections. i have a friend who almost died when he got trapped in a 54 Ford F100 that got a short in the door wiring filled the truck with smoke and couldn't get out. The only thing that saved him was the disconnect, we then brke a window and got him out. Needless to say we rewired the truck and turned the inside door handles mechanical. its one thing to not be able to get in, but you should slways be able to get out.
