   Yep, no key is sheer idiocy and a system designed for and to encourage   
   the terminally lazy. Most of the "keyless" entry cars currently can   
   still use keys for the doors, but not to actually start the car.   
      
      
   As an aside, you should ALWAYS manually check that ALL your car doors   
   are locked when leaving the car anywhere. I few years ago I got back   
   into my car and discovered the passenger door was unlocked - despite   
   making the clicking sound with the central locking, the door was not   
   actually locking due to a faulty servo-motor. Since then I always check   
   each door and the bookt / trunk manually.
