The idea is interesting, but the current form factor seems to be cumbersome. The cord can be easily disconnected by mistake.
It would be nice to have a BT dongle that could react to the distance to the owner and to being unplugged.

When I designed BusKill, I intentionally avoided wireless solutions.
BusKill is designed for situations where the risk is extremely high, and you'll find that the radio-based solutions aren't very secure. They're faulty and have huge surface areas of attack.
