I'll let Ian comment on the email he sent to Mr. Pyke, DOE CIO, but
I ran across an iMac takeapart this morning and it doesn't look
good. http://nak.journalspace.com/?entryid=406 The previous iMac G5s
were easy to open but the instructions in this article changes that.
Instead of three screws that allow the back to easily open, you
remove 4 screws then pry the back/front off. The hard drive isn't
even easy to take out like before. The cable for the iSight is shown
in the photo but the author didn't get to the point of totally
removing everything.
Powerbooks have never been easy to open so I don't see the MacBook
being easy to get to anything other than memory and the
wireless/Bluetooth either.

I am going to reach out to the CIO of Energy HQ and see if they
will allocate a gov't resource to me and Apple to come up with a
guide to disable the camera and bluetooth that meets DOE specs.
The idea is that we work together to have a process to disable that
functionality, that DOE and Apple, in writing, says is hunky dory.
Once that happens, we go to our certified Apple Resellers and teach
then what to do to each Macbook or iMac to make it "certifiably DOE
disabled".
My goal is to try to achieve this once at the HQ level at DOE in
Washington, so all the labs and authorized resellers can get these
Macbooks with out violating any rules.
Thoughts and volunteers needed. I am reaching out to Tom Pike
tomorrow. I'll let DStraub know how the conversation goes.
