  i don't know about that chip, but a few weeks ago, i was down south
chatting with some military IT contractors, and they told me that in
most sites they work in, *no* *one* is even allowed into the building
with a lenovo laptop -- they are considered that insecure/compromised.

  no idea if this relates to your security chip question, but i
thought i'd share that.
