Any solutions to lack of security cable lock?

Cable locks offer little to no security. One quick jerk and the little tab pops right out of the laptop.

Never figured out how much security you really get out of a cable lock anyway.
This solution looks like a stretch.

I've got a bicycle that's not worth as much as a rMBP. I lock it with fairly hefty 3/4" hacksaw safe U-lock and security key and I'm still concerned for its safety.

Anyone depending on a Kensington lock to keep their laptop secure while they're gone has more faith in it than I would.

So? Not everyone uses their laptop in a high-crime, smash-and-grab environment. Just because it only offers modest security doesn't mean that it can't be used (hint: your standard door lock is insecure, but that doesn't stop people from having locks on their doors). In lower-crime environments, a kensington-style lock is fine, as it's main purpose is deterring crimes of opportunity. (And, no, for those people asking: a coffee shop is not what I'd call a "lower-crime" environment.)
