Feature request: Kensington Security Slot

I wish there were an option for securely tethering a modular case to something. The use case for this is light security options like school labs, or a desk that is unattended for periods of time. The computer world seems to use the Kensington Security Slot Kensington Security Slot - Wikipedia

It is easy to point out that individual modules could be quickly unscrewed one at a time, but any security feature is one part of a ‘layer’. It isn’t necessary to go for TOTAL SECURITY with, like, shrouded locked rails. Not to mention, unscrewing individual modes one at a time is a different proposition than simply walking away with a modular case.

Mechanically, it doesn’t look like supporting a security slot would be overly difficult to implement, although I could understand an aesthetic cost vs. use-case benefit argument. Alternatively, a metal handle could double as a secure attachment point.

Thanks for listening!

I was just contemplating Kensington slots the other day and how I’ve never actually seen anybody use them, outside of trade shows. I’m all for it, though.

You could modify the case yourself if you need something like this. Just need to cut a slot in the aluminum with a dremel or something. You’d probably want to put a piece of harder metal in the back as the aluminum could probably be deformed and the lock pulled out.
