You wouldn't be so lucky in San Juan Chamula. Taking pictures inside of the main church is grouds for being chained to a pole just outside and stoned for as long as they like. 100% legal, too.
And taking photos of the locals might lead, not to violence, but to a quick money settlement.
Though, truth be told, stepping back from the viewfinder and enjoying the place is not that bad, after all.
I don't see what all the fuss is about, with your outrage over the national/real/whatever ID. We have a national ID here in Mexico and it's actually quite useful.
Here in Mexico, we have only 4 majors, two of them requiring Windows, for autocad and stuff, and then there are design and cinematography, which use mac. You don't really need a $3000 17" Powerbook, or even a 12 one, most of them seem to work ok with a 14" iBook. Licensing is done directly with microsoft/adobe/apple. The sweet thing, is that for the really tough stuff, you work best on editing rooms, one person rooms that hold top of the line computers, because, in the case of film, you cant go around carrying tapes, sound mixers and a final cut pro license on your back all the time, because you don't need it 24/7. On the support issue, it's best if you actually contract with a dealer that sells the machine through your school, and let them handle all of the support requests. First years won't require state of the art powerbooks, but eventually, and mostly because that will be your life, you'll buy one that more than suits your needs.
On the PC side, people just thrash their computers regularly in this field, because the computer won't keep up with the demands, so here we have a 2 year renovation contract, in which you pay a monthly fee (around $80) and at the end of the 2-year term, the computer is exchanged for a new one, and better one.
Regarding security, both phisical and virtual you might want to have a tight control on serial numbers of the machines and regular update seasons, in which laptops are brought back for an antivirus check and software update, though most people catch up with it. It's a big investment you are making in having a laptop, so you generally take care of it by updating your software and antivirus.
Working without desktops has worked really great here, with about 500 students, and more to come during following semesters, and it's actually weird to see how the remaining computer labs are empty most of the time. Then again, if most students can't afford a computer, then they might start off by choosing a career that isn't that tech-savvy, given that art studios, and most of the other design workplaces demand a keep-up with tech, and I don't see that going away anytime soon.

Though... patenting a cow seems tempting...

Anyhow, you'd have to refer back to the fooltron principle:
Make something fooltron proof and someone will make a better fooltron
