Agreed. When I travel via air, I rarely have my car keys on my person (one more thing to remove from my pocket during security) and after I arrive at my destination, I'm much more likely to have my mobile than my car keys.

And about 1,000,000 times more likely that my car keys WON'T be from a BMW!
