United States Begins Flying Stealth Bombers Over South Korea 567

skade88 writes "The New York Times is reporting that the United States has started flying B-2 stealth bomber runs over South Korea as a show of force to North Korea. The bombers flew 6,500 miles to bomb a South Korean island with mock explosives. Earlier this month the U.S. Military ran mock B-52 bombing runs over the same South Korean island. The U.S. military says it shows that it can execute precision bombing runs at will with little notice needed. The U.S. also reaffirmed their commitment to protecting its allies in the region. The North Koreans have been making threats to turn South Korea into a sea of fire. North Korea has also made threats claiming they will nuke the United States' mainland."

While it may be true that older media are easier to recover data from, we mustn't forget that modern hard drives remap bad sectors. You cannot get to the remapped sectors from your OS, so you can't overwrite those. Therefore, there is a probability that classified, readable information exists on a hard disk drive if you have the proper tools. Physically destroying the disk is thus called for.
