problem is, that its not too hard for the authorities to find a harddrive that has rocketed out... now if you can get it to rocket out and then blow it up at altitudes... that might be something. but seems like it makes far more sense to use the rocket's exhaust to cut through the harddrive, probably wont happen since those steel blast deflectors seems to hold up pretty well...

"Also, we wanted to take this outside to get plenty of ventilation. (One of the chemicals in thermite is a known carcinogen if inhaled in large amounts.)"

Say what?

"Plus, we haven't a clue as to how many more cancer-causing vapors are released from the melting remnants of a hard drive."

I'd worry more about the plastic case...

I never thought of using those as blast deflectors... and I have access to so many old 250mb HDs...

Time for some testing...
