I watched the whole video. Very interesting stuff, not to mention disturbing. It was investigated by some people from BC too, which helps me relate to where they are coming from. To think that they were reassured their digital products would be safe and destroyed and then discovered them in another country! That could just as easily happen to any of us if we went to a local depot for digital items. As far as keeping tech information safe, that's also a worry. I don't think a lot of people have to worry about tech security from another country as compared to nearby tech threats (ie. debit card skim strips, etc), but still something to think about. Glad I have some tech brothers around to watch out for old computers! And maybe a hammer to smash them to bits?!?!?
