Preventing users from hijacking the boot sequence is harder -- you have to worry about getting access to the BIOS, the bootloader, the initrd (esp. recovery shell), plus anything you leave enabled in init.
I'm imagining a modern spin off series of Rug Rats. Tommie, now an adult himself, ignored daytime tv advice and let the toddlers play with iPads too often. With their new found computer skills and easy access to Ruxcon lectures they trivially crack the boot loaders on their locked down preschool computers. Each episode would be a wacky new adventure where the kids try to complete activities on the ABC 4 Kids website while the adults try to catch them plugging in USB drives that circumvent the restricted X desktop and included educational software.
