Everything done needs to be done for a payoff.
IF there were a substantial tax incentive to let the drive go out of the
door, that might warrant a second thought.
But as it is, the payoff for ltaking the chance (however vanishingly
miniscule) for letting an employee remove sensitive information from the
premises is exactly zero. Hence, the safe route (turning into metallic
hamburger) is the only route available--unless the employee can come up
with a payoff. Eternal gratitude is seldom a motivator in today's
corporate world.
Ah, but what if the $THREE_LETTER_AGENCY has a device that can
reassemble the drive fragments and read them? I read somewhere that
they can do that, these days...
Sci-fi is still sci-fi, no matter how much you might want to believe.
