It all depends on the anticipated cost of any data theft.

Mots PCs fro9m private individuals at worst will drain a few grand from 
their bank account.

But for a corporation it could be their entire customer list, or the 
blueprints for next years missiles.

Industrial *shredders* that reduce disk platters or NAND flash chips to 
irreassemblable near dust, take the sort of data recovery we use on the 
dead sea scroll fragments or worse.

By the time its decoded the data is already obsolete

“it should be clear by now to everyone that activist environmentalism 
(or environmental activism) is becoming a general ideology about humans, 
about their freedom, about the relationship between the individual and 
the state, and about the manipulation of people under the guise of a 
'noble' idea. It is not an honest pursuit of 'sustainable development,' 
a matter of elementary environmental protection, or a search for 
rational mechanisms designed to achieve a healthy environment. Yet 
things do occur that make you shake your head and remind yourself that 
you live neither in Joseph Stalin’s Communist era, nor in the Orwellian 
utopia of 1984.”
