That has changed on the 1.67GHz 15in. It now requires the case to be
opened to remove the airport card, just like the 17in.
Bluetooth can be hardware disabled, our service techs do it here all
the time for our LANL and SNL customers. Again, not an easy task, the
case must be opened, therefore, if you're not an authorized service
tech it voids your warrantee.

Subject: [Fed-Talk] Removing Bluetooth & Airport from Laptop
It is possible to completely remove the Bluetooth and Airport modules
from any of the current line of iBooks and Powerbooks?
Just turning them off or disconnecting their antennas is not an
option.
We got around the no removable hard drive problem by removing the
internal harddrive and booting from an external firewire drive, a
process that Apple started making harder as of about 10.3.5 because
10.3.5 will not directly install on our LaCie firewire drives
(starting
back at 10.3 solved that puzzle). Hard to disconnect the firewire
drives when applying an update if the firewire drive is the boot drive
(and only drive on the machine).
