Problem: looking over peoples shoulder electronically.

I think you shouldn't try to solve this with kernel mods. It's
fairly easy to write a program that copies input to/from a pseudo
tty, and makes a copy to another terminal or file on the way.
This way, you just tell the user to execute
watchme /dev/console
or something like that, and you'll be able to follow
everything he does.
