There are different ways of doing this. If you're absolutely sure the ID never changes, the easiest may be to put the line into Systems->Preferences->Startup Applications.

The canonical method seems to be editing udev rules nowadays. There's a Wiki page on this here.

Edit the X.org configuration file located in /etc/X11/xorg.conf . It handles input devices as well as displays

My preferred way of doing this is by appending xinput set-prop 16 "Device Enabled" 0 to ~/.xprofile
