I was with a tech today as he repaired a PowerBook (g4). We noted
several wires coming out of the lid, so it's possible and probably
that the iSight will have its own set of wires. Hopefully we can
unplug or cut those wires.
Once the actual hardware comes out, or the service manuals, we will
have a better idea.
Thank you,

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.
