Genuine question how hard would it be to rig some form of self destruct to a drive that has to be deactivated before power is lost to it. Obviously their would be a backup power solution for if mains power was lost but would it be feasible and doable without breaking any laws inherently (eg being a trap and killing the thief).
I'm not asking for a friend but I also don't ever plan to use this knowledge I'm just genuinely curious.
You know... It would be a little funny in a really really bleak way if ICE arrested him in the middle of the performance (or if it was about how fucked up shit has gotten here similar to last years).
