I seem to recall something about chopping disk platters into very,
very small pieces. The pieces need to be small enough to fit through
the holes in a sieve. As the security level goes up, the sieve hole
size goes down. So for super ultra top mega crazy secret secret,
you're supposed to pretty well turn the platters into dust.
