If the system is smart enough to issue the password, then it should
be smart enough to FREEZE LOCK the drive as well. 10 years ago, the
internet did exist, and browsers were much more broken then they are now.
One of the big differences between now and then is that anti-virus software
has become wildly popular.

Ambition is a poor excuse for not having enough sense to be lazy.

Because it's NOT an implementation issue. One can always set the
password. The only method to prevent it is the Freeze lock. If your
BIOS doesn't support it and even modern brand BIOSs do then you have a
problem. Even when the disk is locked with a password it will be
vulnerable when unlocked which is handy if you want to use the data :-)
Is asked whether I
a) Understand the standard correctly
b) What to do to fix it (if it can be done)
As I heard some one say it has been there for 10 years. Quite something
has changed the last couple of years, especially withe the Internet and
broken browsers.
Sincerely,
Thomas
