vcenter 5, windows 2008r2, bitlocker - where to store the key

I've read many posts on the "how to" encrypt a vmdk using bitlocker.

 

My question is:  what do you do with the USB/FLP disk after the disk is encrypted?

 

It seems rather pointless to have a USB disk tied to a VM or a .flp in the vmx to allow the VM to boot.  The concern is physical theft of the host and storage.  That is, assume the physical server and storage is stolen.  The envcrypted VM's will boot up for the bad guy because the USB stick is still attached or the .flp is in the same storage.

 

Looking for options - encryption with BIOS (either host or VM-BIOS) password boot?

 

Thoughts?  Thanks!
