Actually, no. On the current line of PowerBooks Apple moved the Airport
card. It in now located underneath (or on top of, depending on your
perspective) the PC Card cage. It is a fairly difficult procedure, as
the entire case and PC Card cage need to be removed, but most Apple
Stores are willing to do this for you at the time of purchase.

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).
