Congratulations, you just turned your vehicle into "drug paraphenalia" What? You claim it is Not for drugs? Tell this to the judge.
-----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Tyler Durden Sent: May 2, 2005 10:14 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Stash Burn? yes, this reminded me of another brilliant idea. Why don't some cars have a little tiny furnace for stash destruction? If you've got an on-board stash and some Alabama hillbilly with a badge pulls you over, you just hit the button and have you're little stashed incinerated. Who cares if the badge knows you USED TO have something on board? Too late now if any trace of evidence is gone. What's wrong with this idea? -TD >From: Eugen Leitl <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >Subject: Secure erasing Info (fwd from [EMAIL PROTECTED]) >Date: Sat, 30 Apr 2005 19:49:56 +0200 > >----- Forwarded message from Richard Glaser <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ----- > >From: Richard Glaser <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Date: Wed, 27 Apr 2005 12:17:43 -0600 >To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >Subject: Secure erasing Info >Reply-To: Mac OS X enterprise deployment project ><[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > >FYI: > >Rendering Drives Completely Unreadable Can be Difficult >------------------------------------------------------- > >The National Association for Information Destruction has said it cannot >endorse the use of wiping applications alone for ensuring that data have >been effectively removed from hard drives.
