As mentioned below, the best commercially available software is PCAnywhere, or GoToMeeting/LiveMeeting.
This was an in house version that we use as part of our controls. All of our laptops have whole disk encryption and client information is all cloud based. However, if a laptop is stolen we want the ability to remotely wipe it, and potentially recover the hardware. This software, like LoJack for Laptops (CompuTrace) is installed on the hardware of the system, so even if you destroy or remove the hard drive, we will still have full control.

Since the police are now looking into the history of how the laptop went from TSA to the suspect's possession, I won't be able to comment until a final arrest is made (if any). I am in the habit of avoiding speculation, but since the TSA is involved it could get interesting...

And damn its hella cool man ... My major in college is computer science and all i wanna do is like that ... Can u provide a lil bit more info about that?

The light next to the camera is a separate piece of hardware, so if you exclude it, it will not fire.
We have a mentorship program for those in college/looking to break into the industry. Feel free to hit me up at
csitter@cerberusforensics.com and I will be happy to answer any questions you may have.

Thank you sir, and there is not a statement more true than yours. The same applies for a computer as well.
