At a trade show a few years ago the e-learning company Pluralsight was 
handing out webcam covers. You stick this over the camera, and it has a 
shutter which slides out of the way when you want to use it. It works 
very well. These are sold for under a dollar.

You could open the laptop and destroy the microphone, then plug in an 
external one when required. The sound from internal microphone is not 
usually very good anyway.
