There is also the issue whether he was putting secure material on his personal computers - a big no no for anyone working with highly classified material - one secure computer only, rarely allowed out of the office, no USB connections limited print capacity and no transfer capacity to a non secure computer.
A mate of mine is a blacksmith. He reckons the best way to destroy a laptop is to pour a cup of coffee over it. If you’re not entirely convinced this has worked, go on and toss it into his furnace.

With all these BRS tales coming out of this trial it is easy to forget he is the plaintiff and not the defendant.

In the US maybe, in Australia I doubt it.
I mean - sure - you can absolutely destroy a hdd. You can grind the platters up and disperse them in the ocean. Or any other kind of laborious creative method. Since information on a hdd platter is magnetic, the simplest and most obvious method is to wipe the information permanently with an electromagnet. Think of a book. You can shred the thing and scatter the shreds all over the place. However, the information is still there and can be theoretically recompiled (and if the interest is great enough, literally). With the right kind of instruments, you can literally unscramble an egg. You can un-mix mixed paint. Multi-billion facilities exist around the world for the very purpose of recompiling data from ‘destroyed’ hdds.
I’m not happy with this mornings omelette and I’m going back to the supermarket for a refund.
Might need your help.

I make my hard drives resemble a colander. The drill gets a nice work out. The hammer likes doing it’s job also.
We cross cut shred everything before it gets disposed of, bank records, medical records, anything with names and addresses, either gets binned or added to the compost.
Which came first
