Rationale? At least Ctrl-Alt_Del properly shuts down machine, disable
that and people will hit RESET button, disable that and people will
power cycle. Put machine behind glass, people throws rocks at it )

Physical access to machine makes it vulnerable. And yes, you can
disable Ctrl-Alt-Del somewhere in startup scripts, just comment out
the action line.
