I would love to see a police force bursting in, and smoke immediately starting to rise from every computer.

I mean, you could do it it software too, but it would look cool and send a signal to the officers. :-)

Or you could keep the door locked.

Destruction of evidence?

Maybe so. If you just want the effect, you could release smoke just for show, without actually destroying anything.

You mean if you want them to think you destroyed the evidence, and thus incurring the wrath of the law, without actually destroying the evidence that might incriminate you?

Sounds like a lose-lose scenario, to me.

Interesting idea. Keep the door closed, once opened (reed switch?) Write 0's to memory then pull power to the workstation. Just be sure to save your work before you go to the bathroom.

Yeah, don't cooperate with poor countries that just want taxes to be payed by civilians as well as mega rich companies. Not very nice. What would destruction of evidence get them (from a justice standpoint) in Spain?
