The issues with trusting electronic hardware have become so intractable
that for some applications it seems that building mechanical cipher
hardware should be reevaluated.

No, I am not joking.  :-(

No significant bandwidth, no easily automated integration with anything,
not really applicable to any type of data except text, absolutely
doesn't do public-key encryption ... and is absolutely the only thing
you know isn't deliberately manufactured to be electronically broken on
demand.
