Set a tablet to email a picture at a event

We have a kiosk tablet [Microsoft surface] when the application is running there is no way out of the application without a password so access is restricted to the OS, but there is a loophole if you attach a keyboard and press the Windows key. Is there a way to set up that if the tablet detects a UBS being connected it should email me a picture?

Yes, you can trigger tasks through events that windows logs when usb devices connect.
But before you go that way: what is that application doing for you, is it a browser?

From a legality perspective and since this is in a public place and you are taking pictures, I would post a sign or something on the screen which politely (but very generally) references you are protecting your equipment and have the right to do XYZ ... let your legal beagles get the jargon right but you probably should "let people know". Otherwise, you may run into issues if you "prosecute the offender" and took their picture without adequate warning.
I perfectly agree. I would have never had the idea that picture would be a photo that was taken of the "offender" :-)
Thank you for your help
