  I also have toggle switches for the ignitions on my Legacy.  Has anyone else
heard of a requirement to have two locks?  I sort of remember that New Jersey
passed a law like that a few years ago, but I haven't heard anything else.
  However, I bought a throttle lock in case I happened to park somewhere that
seemed like it might need an extra lock.  Here's the one I bought from
Aircraft Spruce:

  It's relatively light weight and certainly cheap enough.  It is more secure
than the standard keyed ignition switch, but I think just about any lock is
good enough.
  
  Best,
