No, but it smacks of that unique term "demilitarize" that the US
military is so fond of! I've seen them removing electronics with a
cutting torch!! and just to make sure it's totaly unusable, dropping the
radios out of the planes cockpit onto the runway.
Or, my other favorite example .. at McDill AFB in Tampa, I watched an
Airman knocking holes in the bottom of 5 gal gas cans prior to stacking
them for auction ... very effective demilitarizion.
