Ever feel like kicking your cell?

AP: Don't keep secrets on cell phone - Yahoo! News:

"I'd run over the phone," Zatko said. "Maybe give it an acid bath."

Just kicking it is not enough. Turns out old, discarded phones contain a trove (if Karl Rove ever donates all his papers to a library would that be a Rove trove?) of info you might not want sold on eBay. Of course, like all electronic stuff, they probably all contain some nasty pollutants too, so let's not all run down and drop them in the river either (and if you use the acid bath technique, what you do then is anybody's guess). Maybe some sort of giant magnet would work, who knows? Or encase it in a block of concrete and use it for a doorstop.
