Portables Without Cameras?

crankyspice writes "I work routinely in environments where a camera cannot physically be present (e.g., federal court), which really limits what I can carry with me. For instance, I'm a Mac guy, but there's no way to order a MacBook without a built-in webcam (which I've never used on the machines I've owned that have had one). Ditto the iPhone. I'm left with a BlackBerry 8830 and the bottom rung of the [W|L]Intel portables. Even then, when I ordered a Dell Mini 9, I had to wait more than a month because I specified no webcam when I placed the order. This is a relatively common (government, law, sensitive corporate environments) requirement; what have other Slashdotters done? Disabling the camera with a script or somesuch won't convince the $12/hour security guard that there's no camera. How can one easily find portable devices without a built-in camera?"

I note that the state department list conveniently excludes any mention of the activities of the Puerto Rican independence movement, including their attempt to assassinate President Truman in 1952 and shooting (non-fatal) holes in several US congressmen at the capitol building in 1954. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Puerto_Rican_independence_movement
