You can protect against unauthorized undocking using your OmniBook password.
See

“To set up a user password.”

If for some reason you can’t undock the OmniBook using the Undock button, you can
manually undock it. Insert a long thin object—such as an auto key—into the security
opening and press firmly. Continue holding, and slide the OmniBook forward. Since
manual undocking overrides any password, you need to keep a Kensington lock in
the security slot to absolutely enforce password protection.
