I never understood the reason behind covering a camera on a laptop. I mean, what exactly are you afraid of? Someone can film you sitting in from of a screen? A microphone would be a more dangerous threat in this case, no?


People do Other Things™ in front of their laptops...

Imagine that you never did anything in a certain room of your house except sit quietly. Are you saying that you’re okay with anyone standing outside that room staring into it at anytime?


I'm self conscious about my double chin. I don't want the cute guy working at the NSA to see that.


I would like to kill my microphone as well. The fact that I have no easy way of doing that is not an argument for not covering the web cam.


Privacy. Simple as that.


I have a security badge for work. I dont want it photographed.
