Perhaps your days running with the CIA are coming to an end, but what about all that sensitive data you’ve procured over the years?  Sure, you could just toss it into a burning inferno, but we know how well that worked out in “The Terminator”.  The Eraso-O-Matic (check the website, it’s fitting) uses rare earth magnets to wipe credit cards, VHSes, hard drives and just about anything that doesn’t play nice with the magnetic forces of the earth.  There are apparently two versions and the small one starts at $395.
