Which makes me wonder when they'll introduce drives with built-in thermite or other ordnance packages for OS-triggered autodestruction. It'd go over well both to prevent both classified and copyrighted data from getting into teh "wrong" hands...

Thermite isn't the way to go. It produces so much heat that it can melt through the engine block of a car. Which you may already know. As for explosives, can you make it so that the completely distroy the hard drive without going out side the case and so damaging the user? I think a built in electromagnet would do it. It's completly harmless until electricity is put through it, then it, if strong enough, will completly wipe the hard drive.

Theoretically that would work ... much like rubbing your HDD with a big magnet ... uhhhh, but there is a chance that some of the data may survive, or the government has specialized data recovery equipment that can recover some data even from a heavily damaged drive (safest way is for the drive itself to cease to exist) ... or you can do what normal people do and use something like killdisk or DBan to wipe your drive. :D
