I don't know if your sister is using that particular software package, but Musitek, who makes such software, has a list of recommended and not-so-recommended scanners plus some scanning hints on their site. http://www.musitek.com/ScannerComp.html
Tracking devices are used; I believe there was one on the Scream when it was stolen. It was found in the grass about 20 meters from the museum after the robbery.
The oil pressure will work on 'both sides' of the contacts, effectively cancelling itself, so that the oil won't be forced under the contacts. As a matter of fact, putting PCBs into (hydraulic) oil has been done in sub sea robotics applications and tested down to below 3000 meters. You'll have to change/modify some components (chrystals, capacitors), but most components handle both oil and pressure quite well over time, including non-soldered connectors. Moving parts, like fans and hard disks are a bad idea in oil, but in under water applications, cooling is rarely a problem.

There is in fact a debian-based linux distro being developed which is targeted directly at schools.
Take a look at the Skolelinux project at http://www.skolelinux.org/portal/index_html

I'd prefer mineral to olive oil, though...
