It surprises me how many security precautions taken sounds more like superstition to me than an educated understanding of protecting your data.
Cut and paste instead of typing -- really? We all know the clipboard is equally insecure. This is logic that seems to come from a child-like understanding of how computers work.
Why don't more organizations have their own secure token system? Then add a layer of secondary authentication over access to any sensitive data? Security is more about creating reasonable inefficiencies that ensure the right people are accessing information than it is about protecting your passwords from key loggers.

You would have to do something more complicated to capture clip board data purely in a physical manor. But he says software keyloggers, so that's pretty moot.
