data on it unusable. But with enough motivation and the right
equipment-and the F.B.I. has both-some of your data can be recovered.

physical data destruction is nearly impossible. The only method that
comes close is overwriting the disk.

with acetylene.


An aluminum foundry will fershure wipe that data ... Sweejesus Jon , if
the disc is physically destroyed the drive is unreadable .
