You can physically unplug the camera by opening the case. We do that
and put a sticker on the computer saying the camera has been
disabled. The procedure is not too difficult for a technician but
would be for a casual user.
The nice thing about that is that it is reversible without damaging
the computer.
You could also put a piece of tape over the camera but that would be
easily reversible and might leave glue on the glass.

I suspect there are a fair number of people in that situation
on this list. I know of several places like that, including
one outside the government/contractor sector.
This is actually an interesting point, and the rest of your post
didn't go at all where I expected it to. ;-)
What are people doing with Apple systems that ship with cameras in
no-camera environments? There are some ways that managed systems
can have the iSight disabled in software, but there is no way to
delete (or even mechanically close/disable) the iSight on the
current laptops and iMac.
Considering that Security Update 2006-008 just addressed an issue
in which a Java applet on a malicious web site could use QuickTime
for Java to take still images from an iSight and send them to a
remote server, how are people addressing the fact that cameras are
now ubiquitous in many Apple products?
