Exactly, so why give all the credit to Star Wars? That's not to say Star Wars didn't have an impact, but to imply those story elements are the main influence of everything that came after them is just plain wrong. Some of them even pre-date Star Wars.
A lot of this poster makes no sense considering Star Wars itself is so derivative. The only thing that on this poster that was really new was ILM. The characters themselves are all based on other works.
That's the point - make the code hard to get to so he's less likely to use it. It's just a thought exercise. There's so many things wrong with this 'solution' it would never work in practice. Most notably, no one would volunteer. Not because the President may kill them, but because they'd have to be at President's side 24/7. What if the volunteer is sick or injured and has to be hospitalized? No one can cover for him. The guy with the briefcase doesn't have that problem, he clocks out and the next guy carries the bag. It's an 'all your eggs in one basket' scenario.
I hope he draws a pint every once in a while for himself in case he ever needs it. The local blood bank should be able to hold it for a worst case scenario.
