the PC or laptop microphone? Does disabling the sound card remove the

never have the need to use a microphone? Given recent info about the US
FBIs capabilities to remotely enable mobile phone microphones
(presumably via corporate cellular service providers), what prevents my
OS provider (or distribution) and ISP from working on a way to listen in
on my office or home conversations via the microphone or the built-in
speakers? Thoughts?

It should be easy to destroy the microphone physically.
