So a friend that worked at DIA says .gov and .mil gear often contains acid in glass surrounding drives and circuits. (Thermite is just in the movies.) What a security-conscious user really needs is laptop storage that can be quickly destroyed. An SSD would be the easiest to destroy with a strong acid or base (fuming nitric acid will just decap the epoxy). Perhaps someone here knows which would work best.

".gov and .mil gear often contains acid in glass surrounding drives and circuits." Couldn't you just turn the circuit upside down and use a diamond tip drill (Dremel would do) to drain the acid? I think sticking with full disk encryption would be a more reliable choice.

  > Couldn't you just turn the circuit upside down "surround" in my dictionary means all directions. Didn't even Dell sell servers with a small amount of explosives so that the disk and memory go boom on unauthorized open? (amount comparable to the amount in in airbag -- yes, your airbag has explosives) At least one of the brand names did, as I recall.
