A switch is irrelevant now that we have evidence that even accelerometers can be used to reconstitute speech.

I'd bet that CCD elements have some level of sensitivity to external voice.

Pulling the battery/putting it in a Faraday cage are the only real options left.

It will have to be a Faraday cage with an internal white noise generator.
