I think we all know it can be done. Governments do it all the time. Data recevery people do it too. Years ago I worked at a computer place and the hard drive crashed. The heads physically pulled up the magnetic media in a couple places. They still got almost 80% of the data back. Funny thing was, they repaired the heads that did all the scratching and got the data with them, so they said anyway. I'm sure the NSA, CIA and a few others can get data back off just about anything. It's just a matter of how much money you want to spend and how much time you want to put into it. Now to get some sleep. I got to go see my lady tomorrow. This one is getting serious.
