Re: 'cigar lighter' kill switch?

I've read about this before, don't recall exactly how it's done, but just theorizing:

If you were to totally disconnect the wires to the cigar lighter, then run a ground that the ignition needs, say the neutral start switch, through the lighter, it should work like this: When the lighter was removed, or just in the "normal' position, the ground would be "open" or disconnected. When the lighter was pushed in, the ground circuit would be complete, vehicle would start. This this circuit would only be a ground, it would not have 12 volt power on it, therefore no way to blow a fuse or cause problems. And if you wanted to, you could take the lighter with you when you got out. sound feasable?
