        Currently the ATA through SCSI community is not affected because
there is no real translation from SCSI to ATA security.  This could be an
issue in the future when ATA pass-though is implemented.
        I think that we should also note that the drive need not be
returned.  Security Erase is used to clear the password along with the data.
This does give the user a way to retrieve the drive if it gets passworded.
 

Not as far as I understand the standard. The drive will only accept the 
Security Erase command when either the master or user password is supplied.
In case of a virus both passwords will be set to random. This was the 
original question I asked.... :-)

Sincerely,
Thomas
