Default Permantly lock a worksheet

I need to know if there is a way (Macro?) to lock a worksheet so that no changes can ever be made. I am not talking about protecting the worksheet or workbook because you can always go in and unprotect them. I want my users to able to fill out thier worksheets and when it comes time to send them in to be able to permantly lock them down so no one on the other end can make any changes.

Protect the workbook with a password that only the user knows. If you really want it never to be changed, have the user close their eyes and type from the keyboard about 16 letters.
