I mean, sure, but how are you going to protect the one time key?
What might make more sense is if they gave you a usb drive that was good for a thousand transactions or whatever. Then you could get it replaced in person after the pad was used it.
I didn’t read the article (paywall), but unless they are talking about quantum computers, the computation required to break the key and encrypt the data has a exponential difference. If we all started using keys that were, say, 2^32 bits long, we would be fine for the forseeable future.
