No. The point of the USB key is that it's a physical token. When 
combined with the use of a passphrase, you can leverage the "something 
you have/something you know" for an additional layer of security. 
Conceivably, provided you didn't need the encrypted volume immediately 
at boot, you could put your key file on a network volume and mount that 
prior to mounting the encrypted volume.

Okay! I completely understand! I just wanted to make sure I pointed that 
out in case you were hoping to use that setup with the assumption that 
you were going to get an additional layer of security.
