If one is worried about poofing one's microwave oven, it *helps* if you put
the CD on a ceramic mug full of water.
One is still putting metallic objects into a nuker, which in practice is
bad, but putting metallic objects into a nuker with absolutely no place to
go (re: just the CD) is worse. (and yes, just because *your* nuker may
survive this, doesn't mean *everybody's* nuker may survive!)
I don't do it as I just spent too much on my new nuker. However, I have
seen it done, and it is kewl. ;-)
WRT the CD shredder thingy - I keep one on my hip. It's called a
leatherman. Get it out, unfold the knife, 4-5 swipes with the blade (taking
care to *only* cut the CD, and not oneself in the process ;-) ) And you're
done.
I could find a *lot* better ways to whizz away $130!

If at first you don't succeed, nuclear warhead
disarmament should *not* be your first career choice.
