I have taken one apart using a pocket knife. Basically it consists of an outer casing with two holes for screws and an inner box. The casing can be cut off, but with difficulty. The inner box is a solid plastic material and is most likely poured over the electronics in the manufacturing process. When I tried to cut it, it produced a grey dust. If you try to cut it in half be careful about the dust produced. Again, the inner box has wires sticking out and appears to be solid.
