I don't see how that works on a laptop, assuming you keep all the ports visible and don't connect it to anything else. If there is some other way to do it via hardware, I'd like to know.
You paint the keylogger pink and erect a somebody else's problem field around it. :)
Actually, keyloggers aren't the real issue for security. Form scrapers are. Most people don't want to go through reams of keystrokes when they can just scrape forms and get the good stuff. Since these are software, good malware practices should take care of them.
