You put a CB down in the E&E bay, where nobody can touch it. Just like they do in Airbuses

Except that most aircraft i have flown, the E&E is most certainly not accessible to the crew. Unless you have hidden a chain-saw in your flight bag !!
A transponder-CB in the E&E bay, and no off-switch on the unit, would be tamper-proof and would also isolate any equipment failures. The on switch could be activated by N2 rotation, as that is when ATC normally want it on - and N2 rotation will remain even with a double engine failure. Is that a difficult concept to understand?
