Ah... the Thule Expressway... I saw one close up. It looks like your standard run-of-the-mill top-tube mounting hitchrack but has a cable-lock built in. It wasn't anything special in my eyes and nothing that you couldn't do with any other hitchrack and a set of Kryptonite cable locks. I personally like the hitchracks with trays instead of arms. Then I'd get one or two (or even three if you have lots of bikes) Kryptonite cable locks (you can find them for as low as $15 each) and either daisy-chain them together or use them individually. The Kryptonite cables are probably stronger than the ones that come with the Thule rack and you can replace/upgrade/change to a different brand as your heart desires. Most hitch racks come with a cable-loop. Be sure to also get a locking hitch-pin.
P.S. One thing I forgot to mention was that I think you have to remove the bikes to lower the rack if you want to get at your liftgate. I think this is the case with a lot arm-based hitchracks although many do have some sort of way to allow you to keep the bikes on when moving the rack to a liftgate access position. My tray hitchrack (and I think most tray based racks) allows you to tilt it down without having to remove bikes.
