Isn't there a thing where car thiefs use an RF booster to make newer cars think the keyfob is right next to the receiver?

Personally, I'd want an antenna on/off switch that gets activated by shoving it in the keyfob hole. Seems reasonably secure.

They pretty much already do this. Most modern fobs turn themselves off if they've not moved recently, which protects against relay style attacks.
