I don't think so. If it's like the one my husband used to use, it's just synchronized with another computer that generates random, 10-digit numbers at regular intervals (every minute). So, if say you wanted to work from home this weekend but needed access to info on the network in the office, you would dial-up using whatever number showed-up at that moment as your password. This would give you access to your office computer without making it very likely that anyone else could hack in because one minute isn't long enough to try every possible permutation of numbers as the password.
Hope this helps. :)

Could this be camouflaged to appear as an ordinary (& safe) computer "thingy" & actually be a component that could be used to assemble something in an airplane restroom? I remember some years back, ME guys coming over from Canada with boxes of Casio watches and other items...all items appeared harmless until someone said that if you took them and added a couple of other items, you'd have a nice bomb.

Gotcha...now can it be set as a switch instead of a key (I bet it can somehow and that would be why the plane would turn around.)
