Has anyone seen Jurrassic Park where Dennis Nedry has protected the system with an animation that says 'You didn't say the magic word' where after the system goes down.

Is it possible to do something similar ikn Python ?

To describe it less humoristic:

A response screen which waits for a condition fulfilled by the user. And encrypts and locks the system after a certain time.

Is that possible on a linux system by the use of Python ?
