   How hard was it to install the kill switch? Any ideas from anyone out
there as to how to go about this? A kill switch seems like a cheap way
to add a lot of protection. Granted, it must be done right and it should
be hidden as well as possible... Any suggestions about how to add a
kill switch? (i.e. where to make the "bridge", where to hide the switch...)

  Thanks!
