Actually I wonder what kind of box are we talking about? Is it your home computer?. At home, nobody uses either my box or my laptop, so no GRUB or BIOS password is needed.
I have several cats which use my computer unless I lock the keyboard. Fortunately, they haven't guessed my password. Yet, that is. :-) I still find NumLock and CapsLock not to be the way I like them, though!
If you're talking about your office computer, it depends on how much do you trust on your co-workers
At one place where I worked, the policy was that all computers were to have the keyboard locked or logged out when not attended. One guy left his workstation, and did not lock his keyboard. Some emails from his user id went to everyone in the company. These emails had racial slurs and other offensive language in them. He was fired. His defence that he did not originate the emails didn't stand up against company policy that keyboards be locked or logged out.

You have found the bank of Larn. I can explain it for you, but I can't understand it for you. I speak only for myself, and I am unanimous in that!
