omg. This just killed me in laughter. Angle grinding circuit boards to destroy data?? wtf?

what a bunch of retards. Why are people so dumb and stupid?

Looks good fun, but a completely pointless exercise seeing as there are still other copies, so I've no idea why they insisted on doing this.

That is the most hilarious thing I have ever seen :D yeah, I don't think we have much to fear from these 'scary' intelligence agencies :P

I love how they've got spooky music playing in the background to try and scare everyone.

Ha, looks like the man was angle grinding resistors from an old 56k modem card......
Made me laugh!  ;D
If they wanted to clear the data they could've just used a large neodymium magnet, submerged the it in acid, or burn it.
They clearly wanted to make a scene out of this, so they prepared little stations for people and gave each a "piece of the pie" so they can drill holes in it and have loads of fun.

I think it was at the behest of the government, and/or maybe just this:
