I figgered, if you got dozens of shots, at different angles, and they all told a consistent story, it'd convince any rational person that, yeah, this series of pictures are nigh impossible to photoshop. No?

Kodak makes a disposable digital now, I saw at Walgreens for less than $20. Take the pictures and send in for 'processing'. The geeks have also found out how to hack in so you can reuse. Either way, no film means no spoilage.

Do they make a throw away camera that can with stand the heat?

You can buy cheap digital cameras for under $50 now - and a lot of phones have cams on them - if you don't need high quality, then these are much preferable to film or a more expensive digital -
You can get even cheaper ones for $20 - but here is one for $50
