Other acceptable means of data removal include a single random pass (modern drives make it nearly impossible to recover data, even with a single overwrite), microwaving the platter (the platter should be removed from the enclosure before doing this), applying sand paper aggressively to the platter, heating the drive in an oven (500 degrees Fahrenheit for 15 minutes? 30 if you want to be extra paranoid, or just leave it in the oven until investigators arrive), or taking a powerful magnet (perhaps from a home/car stereo) to degauss the drive (the platter should be removed first to maximize effectiveness)
