The only public terminal (in an internet café a couple of years ago) I've ever used did something similar. Once the user terminated the session the machine rebooted, did a format c: and restored from an image. Simple, safe and I liked it.
Of course, Jim Hall's point is still valid, but the machine was in a cabinet, so installing a hardware keylogger would not have been trivial.
What about the mouse? Can we get a multi-button mouse for Mac? That single clicker bugs me.:/
Yes, you can. Basically any USB mouse should work. I use an Intellimouse myself - it needs MS drivers to recognize the 4th and 5th button, but the three standard buttons and the scrollwheel work even without those.
