Can Debian's paranoia be tamed

[Richard Owlett <rowlett@cloud85.net>]

I've a laptop whose *SOLE* purpose in life is to be used in 
a manner that a even I would never do on a machine with real 
data on it.
It has intrinsically the best security in place
  Only _*I*_ have physical access to the machine.
  It has no possibility of connecting to the internet.
  It will *never* be updated.
  The installation CD lives in the drive, for various 
reasons the hard drive is wiped and reinstall done 2-3 times 
per week.

When I boot I want to do *ANYTHING*!
HOW?
