    Now if someone can mod the laptop to self-destruct instead of simply disable...

    @citizen024: How would you work on it then? I think a Faraday cage would be simpler, cheaper, and lighter.

    @GTgeek: You use the keyboard and mouse to navigate the windows, unless it's running a Linux operating system. Then you must use command line.

    @Git Em SteveDave loves this guy->★: I'm aware of that, but you said simpler, cheaper and lighter...wait, I see what we're arguing about, I'm sorry. You said that about the lead case, not about removing the sim card. My mistake.

    @GTgeek: It's OK, I just realized that they were posted by the same person. As for the SIM card, I'm sure the computer makers were a little smarter than that, especially since this is a BIOS thing.
