   Honestly doesn't seem like a bad idea. Also, couldn't you just burn burn 4.5 gigs worth of encrypted data to a DVD? Keep the password in your brain.

   In pristine conditions, you can expect upwards of 20 years of data integrity. Pristine. In real life scenarios, more like 10.

   Sensitive data lol yeah right, you mean your child porn collection. When I had a computer, I'd remove the hard drive and boot from a linux distro loaded from a CD, load it into RAM, and then remove the CD itself, so if I got a virus or anything, I'd just reboot and it'd be gone.

   Yeah? I write out binary patterns on a punch card from memory. Get me a stack of paper hustla.

    A thin layer of pyrotechnic mix should suffice to destroy a CD, much faster than some kind of shredder. More permanent too. And it's the side with the writing/paint on it that is most sensitive to destruction, not the other side like most people think. Throw it into a metal/insulated box, and there's not really any risk of fire.

    I don't know, but certain solvents and especially certain acids would likely destroy it pretty thoroughly, as long as someone didn't take it out in time.

    I'm not trying to pry, but what sort of information does the average person need kept secret and disposable?

    Lists of CEOs, politicians, judges, prosecutors, law enforcement, data fusion center ops, intelligence agency operatives, etc, all marked for death.
    
    Critical points of infrastructure that will be targeted.
    
    In other words, CHILD PORN!
