His "need" is his problem, not yours. He should have thought about that, before he decided to engage in activity that threatened other people.
I have to agree.
The IT mantra should be: "Lack of planning on your part does not nessecarily constitute an emergancy on mine."
A better example though would be: Imagine, your car has a blown gasket spewing smoke all over the road and is barely moving under its own power, then add all 4 tires are flat further impeeding your movement. Would you keep driving it cause you had to get to work? Would you be pissed at the cop who pulls you over because your car is causing a 10 mile traffic jam on the 405?
Now if she had installed a hidden camera over his shoulder to watch the screen, the court wouldn't have ruled against her.

Forget breaking down the PDA.
Go buy a big Bible or other book but Bible has advantages. Make sure to look for something that is shrink wrapped. The One Year Bibles I believe come like that. You take and cut a spot in the middle of it for the PDA. Reshrink wrap it, get a cheap Royal brand type PDA, a cheap calculator or something and put em in the same box. Now you can etchically say misc small electronic devices and a bible. Ship it off and it should make it. The other 2 pieces might not, but hopefully the Bible will since in most countries people don't steal Bibles.
In addition, she can store the PDA in the Bible once she gets it which might be a way again to help keep it safe.
At least an idea of a way to do it, don't know if it will work.
Seems to me if Google setup some EULA that said that the search engine was only for use in the US then they could not be sued in other countries without being able to countersue for breaking the EULA. This would still allow them to accept advertising from vendors worldwide but would bring all the lawsuits un US law.
Or at least I think you could do something like that.

Principal Skinner [speaking at an assembly]: Children, the times they are a-becoming quite different. Test scores are at an all-time low, so I've come up with these academic alerts. [hold stack of cards] You will receive one as soon as your grades start to slip in any subject. This way your parents won't have to wait until report card time to punish you.
Martin: How innovative. I like it!
Kearney: Hey Dolph, take a memo on your Newton: beat up Martin.
[Dolph writes "Beat up Martin" which the Newton translates as "Eat up Martha"] Bah! [throws Newton]
Martin: [being bonked on the head with the Newton] Ow!

Or what about the Apple Lisa?
This is what came to my mind. I was thinking herbs to spice up you your lunch or tea. Maybe some mint.
Another idea would be to get a strawberry pot with the multiple openings and see how many strawberries you can harvest for the year.
One final option would be to setup some sort of salad garden in a box. That one might be interesting with leaf lettuce and some herbs to add to a vinegar and oil dressing.
Ok, so is it just me or does the guy on the top of the case look like he is setting on the toilet reading? Ok, maybe not but that was my first impression.
As for the case, very cool. Makes me want to go get out my Lego bucket and start building my own. That or go play with my mindstorms kit.
Tell them that to improve the academic experience they should only work in the computer labs that the students use; which is where you have deep freeze, right?
Ok, aside from that what I have seen done that works well is to setup Service Level Agreements with the faculty outlining supported and unsupported applications. Essentially that washes your hands of hanving to fix unsupported software and having the excuse to remove it or even install a clean image on the machines. Also, track all service requests in some sort of database so when your department gives an annual report it can show that it spend xx% of its man hours fixing easily prevented things.
Finally, treat all faculty and staff as hostile and plan accordingly.

Need I say anything more to get the point across?

Well, I said they could do something like it 8-P hehe. I conceed that point.

Yep, in spite of the politcally correct crowd we still have a first ammendment right to offend each other.
