What the mind can conceive, the man can achieve!

However:

Do you really think someone would engineering such a small device for a 
laptop, get your machine, open it, find a way to install it, put it all 
back together, and then get it back into your possession to steal your 
keystrokes?

There simply has to be a better way of getting info....perhaps you just 
finish watching MI:3! :)

The only way you can defect such a device is to simply not allow it to 
get into your machine.
