I don't think this should be in the hardware section...
I was just browsing around KGll's website. There are a lot of good articles by the way, even for a Linux student still in kindergarten.
Looking through the index, my attention was immediately caught by this one.
Let's Disable Your Webcam
I see this question, about how to disable your webcam, quite a lot. There are some ingenious solutions, from sliders you can stick to your laptop to just putting a piece of electrical tape over it. Some vendors have gotten in on it and include a sliding cover that you can use when the webcam is not in use.
If you’re that paranoid, you might want to look for a laptop (generally) that doesn’t have a webcam – but that can be hard to find these days. In some cases, they’ll have a red light that comes on when the webcam is in use. Of course, the truly paranoid don’t trust that. And the really, truly paranoid people know their coffee pot is spying on them!
When you're enslaved by the Giant, I wouldn't say any of this is paranoia.
