Is it possible to use an optical drive's own laser to destroy it?

JILL ...some info you just can't share with this crowd.......

You can't buy the components needed for making thermite at a hardware shop , unless they now sell bags of aluminium oxide (powdered aluminium) and cans of iron oxide (rust). Making the stuff is easy. Igniting it is not. And no, I won't be posting what you need to ignite it. Drilling a hole in the HD in question will do every bit a good job of destroying whatever data was present without resorting to using hazardous materials such as thermite.

 

If further proof was needed check out these clips of experiments with Thermite from Sky One's Brainiac program... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WrCWLpRc1yM The death of a crappy french car in the clips is to be welcomed too !
