Some other security/find button replacement apps (like Genius) do the same thing as my fix. It is probably a good idea to place my fix on the device anyway. That way you don't need to worry about whether or not your favorite app is susceptible to this flaw.

Basically all this fix does is sit and listen for the find key being pressed, then when it is pressed it checks to see if the device is locked, if it is, it stops the key from making it to the system.
