Please fix LOCKED layer workings

When I toggle LOCK on a layer, I want it locked. Currently it is still selectable, copyable, etc... Locked means locked!!!

Todd, try this:

Preferences > General > Object Editing > and turn on Prevent Selection of Locked Objects

My technique avoids locking objects in favor of locking layers, as Derek suggests.

This preference is on by default, so if it's off, someone turned it off.
