[ale] Wiping hard drives revisited...

[Greg Freemyer]

I know one of the 3 guys who wrote the paper / did the work.

I trust it.

Also NIST officially says a one pass wipe is sufficient for 20 GB and
larger disks.  They base that on a NSA study.  I tried to get a copy
of the NSA study, but it seems to be unavailable to the general
public.

Now SSDs are a different story.  I think an incinerator might be the
best choice.
