Yeah, just erase the first 512 bytes of your disk. Then I'll take Norton Disk Edit (circa 1985) and still be able to browse your whole file system. Even if you clobbered the FAT/NTFS/etc tables and root directory, I'll just do a search for "terrorist", "p0rn", "jpg", or "doc" and get to all your confidential documents anyway, which you so conveniently left unoverwritten and unencrypted.
Btw, it would be trivial to write a program that searches a disk for a regular expression representing the number space of major credit cards or bank accounts. Heck, there are people who do that for network sniffers.
