Suggestion from the average user.
A small Drimel grinder tip hit to the lens face will render the iSight unusable without damage to the overall pb package and is easily verifiable by the security folks whenever in need of validation - and is a lot less intrusive.

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,
