When I was at the Art Gallery of Ontario about 8-9 years ago they had a
terminal in an exhibition that seemed exceptionally well-secured, yet still
allowed for ventilation. There was a very large trackball/button thing
(palm-sized) --this was the ONLY thing visible or even potentially visible
that the visitor could access. Everything else, as I recall, was hidden
inside a molded plastic cabinet that sat within a larger assembly that had a
key-opened back door for maintenance accessibility. You could probably call
them to find out how they did it.
I did, however, notice that there were pry marks around the trackball from
someone trying to get at something more, and a lot of very dirty
handprints--the molded plastic was textured and obviously could not be
cleaned very well.
