What the mind can conceive, the man can achieve!
However:
Do you really think someone would engineering such a small device for a
laptop, get your machine, open it, find a way to install it, put it all
back together, and then get it back into your possession to steal your
keystrokes?
There simply has to be a better way of getting info....perhaps you just
finish watching MI:3! :)
The only way you can defect such a device is to simply not allow it to
get into your machine.

I have seen keyloggers that look just like a bigger version of a PS/2

I am quite certain that if I can order those from Thinkgeek, there are
versions in use in the world by various organizations that are smaller
and could conceivably be put inside a laptop keyboard or a normal
keyboard and be very hard to detect.

but I was under the impression that on a desktop, one hides the
"hardware" behind the PC (or under the keyboard, or someplace) so that
it can do the logging...and then it gets removed later. I don't see how
that works on a laptop, assuming you keep all the ports visible and
don't connect it to anything else. If there is some other way to do it
via hardware, I'd like to know.
