When my partner and I bought a new cross-cut paper shredder, we
bought the one that includes the ability to crunch CD/DVD/credit
cards into little chunks about one-eight by one-quarter inch in size.

In the FWIW category -
In an effort to render confidential material (jpeg images) on a CD
unreadable, I started placing 2 deep scratches - made with one half
of a scissor - across the diameter of a CD, 90 degrees apart. After
"destroying" several CD's this way, I decided to see what effect
this had on the data on the CD
I was dumbfounded that it had no decernable effect on the
readability of the data.
I now cut the CDs in two!
