This begs the question of how the monitoring works. Presumably to avoid tampering the computer case would need to be locked or sealed, the BIOS set to stop any boots other than C drive, and the BIOS admin password set. The OS would similarly need to be locked down similar to that in a corporate environment.

Would be interesting to know how well thought out the process is.
