I'm curious how you see this playing out in the real world. Do you:

a) Destroy every storage device in your home every time you click a random link on IRC.

b) Destroy every storage device in your home "when I opened the door we were greeted by the police, counter terrorism agents and a state-prosecutor".

Option A would be an expensive hobby. Option B seems like it would cause more problems than it solved.

I'm reminded very much of xkcd's $5 wrench. It also seems to me that in this case, his data is his alibi.

Well, there was no evidence on them. If they were destroyed then there would also be no evidence.

Agreed on everything else.
