Calm down, calm down. As far as I recall, you started this off by
making the unqualified assertion that "If anybody ever gets the card
for 10 or more minutes they can image the card and then at their
leisure take a crack at it.", Mr Presotto expressed interest in a
perfectly civil fashion, and a discussion ensued which I for one was
following, or attempting to follow, with interest until you got the
hump over something.

At the risk of making you even angrier, what has physics in general &
the second law of thermodynamics in particular got to do with the
possibility of a completely uncrackable system?
