FileVault will serve you a whole lot better than the Open Firmware Password, which will be reset if a user changes the amount of the physical memory in the machine and then reboots.

  For clarification to a simpleton like myself, one can just take a stolen laptop, place it in target disk mode, and subsequently acquire all keychain info?!? egads!
  
  Filevault scares me. I personally make password protected images. Fortunately I have never had keychain save the passwords, so I guess my sekrits is safe!

  Not the Keychain contents, no. Just everything else on the disk that isn't encrypted. Apologies if I gave the wrong impression.
