The military (at least in Sweden) bakes a Trotyl / Pentyl cake with the drives as stuffing, don't know if that would change the magnetic properties but most likely make the process of collecting/organizing the pieces of the same drive quite labourious. I read an article on encasing your drives wit

Dammit! Do you mean that if I get a majority of people on this list (say, by stacking anonymous names) to request Theo to approve opening a remote hole in the base install, there's a chance he won't do it? How unreasonable can the development team be? That's it for me, I'm afraid. I cannot condon
