I also had some experience with the degaussing and destruction
of disks. This does not prove *anyone* not even a government
can recover the data from a completely overwritten disk.
Not everything the government or the military does is necessary.
Sometimes precautions are taken well above what anyone
might even imagine might be possible.
Sorry if I sound in any way confrontational.
I just would really like to know.

Eric if you were in MI (I really want to make a joke, but I won't)
then you know that techniques related to data recovery from hard
drives would be classified.   The intelligence community is not
prone to publicaly publish whitepapers on their operations.
