Alex "There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that "my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge." -- Isaac Asimov

They're talking about pairing keyboards to the USB dongles, not straight to the laptop's BT. (And I think even that should only affect products like Logitech's Unifying receiver which does not have a hardware button to initiate pairing mode.)
