The DI computer uses these inputs to decide whether to allow a would-be pilot to activate and control its 'Mech. If a 'Mech's owner is particularly vindictive, they can program their DI computer to scramble a would-be thief's brain with the neurohelmet if they do not pass the 'Mech's programmed security checks. Incidentally, Clanners do not normally utilize these extra security routines, since, according to them, "there are no thieves in Clan society."
