I recently encountered a much more effective method.  Upon purchasing a box of 
formatted disks, I took them to the checkout (this was a discount store, not 
a computer store).  

It turns out they put one of those security devices on a lousy $5 box of 
disks.  To disable the security stickum, they had to run the box over a high 
powered magnet several times.  The sign next to the magnet said "Keep Credit 
Cards Away" as apparently magnets might actually destroy encoded data.
