Of course it can.

Cameras and microphones and write enable must have physical switches, not software ones. When will people learn?

Never.

Me, I unplug the camera and mike when not in use.

Some laptops (I've seen it on a lot of Thinkpads) include a physical cover that can be slid over the webcam when you aren't using it. While that doesn't cut power to the camera or mic, I figure would pretty straightforward for manufacturers to add contacts to the camera cover to use it as a power killswitch instead of just a privacy cover.
