Physical Locks just became useless due to key "bumping." Search Google for Bumping, you'll see.
Lots of keyless door locks out there, but most still have a physical keyed override, which is now useless.
Someone needs to build a deadbolt that allows you to program it to accept the unlock code from
your car keys. Walk up to your door, hit the unlock button, and your house unlocks.
Sure, it unlocks your car too, but once you get inside, just hit lock again.
At least you don't have to carry an extra key-fob-thingy.

Maybe a separate remote, and an electromagnetic or electromechanical lock mechanism at the door frame vice the door. Maybe a device compatible with X10 home automation system would be good. |
|
| |
But car key signals can be ripped using easy-to-purchase devices, leaving you just as vulnerable. |
|

Go do some research on garage door locks, which clearly already solve these issues. |
|
| |
How about simply using a lock with any of the mechanical improvements that have been made over the years to thwart bumping, picking, or other such forms of illicit entry? |
|
| |
Why not just make a Deadbolt that is Keyed to your car keys. |

I solved the problem of home security years ago just by welding myself into my house. Gets lonesome sometimes, but there's plenty of time for ke-ing. |

What you need to do is cede control of the door lock to a third party that can recognise you... This could be your dog, cat, mouse, mum, brother, sister or a suitably complex personal assistant... |

Acutally I like the dog idea... |
