   As I remember, the reply to the thread last summer was that
   the new 'Sound Boxes' (that include outputs for speakers, etc.) have
   a PHYSICAL switch to turn off the microphone....

But, can sounds boxes be used in a monochrome system?  I would
suspect not, but what do I know . . .

   I suppose you could write something to acquire the microphone input's
   port and feed them messages like "We've been waiting for you, <suspected
   person>"  :)

Even better, you could use the DSP and appropriate sampling and create
a version of your boss singing the theme to "For Your Eyes Only".  That
should confuse 'em . . .
