Cute, but seems like a solution looking for a problem, and finding the wrong one.
The major problem with bike locks IMHO is their laughable resistance to brute force physical attacks, e.g. $100 hydraulic cutters. I don't think anyone around here bothers with picking the actual lock.
I like the Abus Bordo Combo. No key required (but don't forget the combo). Don't know if it can resist the hydraulic cutters, but it looks like it can to my untrained eye.
Try chaining your bike up using a coil of razor wire. It might not be resistant to hydraulic cutters, but at least you can follow the trail of blood to find your bike.

True in general, but for a time one could pick Kryptonites with a Bic pen.
And similarly efficient attacks for current gen disc detainer based bike locks are on the horizon.
