[cutoffs involving tying into the brake lines.]

    The idea is OK, sounds like somebody(s) bodged the job

No, the idea sucks.  If you're going to mess with a safety-critical
subsystem in a system that regularly operates at easilly fatal energy
levels, all in the name of security, then security better be safety-critical
as well.  I don't think preventing a stole car qualifies.  Perhaps if we
were talking about an armed tank :-)
