it should be doable. since you could map your keystrokes to do certain
things (ctrl+alt+del is mapped in inittab IIRC)
<taken from="/etc/inittab" distro="slackware 9.0">
# What to do at the "Three Finger Salute".
ca::ctrlaltdel:/sbin/shutdown -t5 -r now
</taken>
or perhaps when you sense that the feds are coming, a simple
ctrl+alt+SysRq would do the flushing the hard drive clean, and saving
non-circumstancial evidence like personal documents onto another hard
drive would be nice. a script could be done to do this, and i'm sure
mapping it in /etc/inittab would be neat. ;)
if i were to implement a script, what i'd do is tar-bzip my home dir and
then save it somewhere else, then flush the partition clean -- something
like dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/<my root partition>. most of what i need
would be in my home directory anyway, if and when i have to reconstruct
my linux box again from invoking the self destruct sequence. :)
