Hey Crosshairs ...
Most ABS systems can be disabled just by pulling a fuse (which one depends on model, of course).
I've heard that all NY taxi drivers disable ABS. And I know for a fact there are several ABS systems that just plain make the car more dangerous, sometimes engaging when hitting a bump and causing the driver to rear end the car in front of him ('97 - 98 Isuzu rodeos, and I'm sure there are others).
And of course many off-roaders driving late model vehcile disable abs before going off-road.
To me ... ABS is mostly for people who don't know how to drive real well on ice. Those who do can often do better with their normal "bag of tricks."
I drive well on ice (even race in ice racing competitions in the winter) but still do like ABS on my on-road vehicle. Just my preference.
