If you can't turn 'em off, what you gonna do when they catch fire! DOH!
What if the electronics were monitored by a smoke/overheat detector, and the circuit breakers could not be turned off unless a fault was detected?

Alternately, flipping the circuit breakers to "off" activates a back-up transponder which is physically and electrically removed from the main one and sends an alert code upon activation?
