An Arduino (or even 555 timer) and reed relay would fix that. Replace the button with a reed relay's contacts. Pulse the coil once 10 seconds after power is applied to the rest of the car...
No, it wouldn't, but cop-curs with exceptional abilities can be cloned rather than relying on random chance to produce a whelp with the same abilities.
You're actually correct about the decay chain of Cs and Sr ending in short-lived then stable isotopes.
As far as plutonium, yes, it's toxic. Don't eat it, breathe it in, or place a neutron reflector over a sphere of it (see also: the Louis Slotin incident). It's still not bad compared to isotopes that can give you radiation burns or kill you just because you're across a room from them.
You need both: waste storage and reprocessing. Some contaminants are also highly radioactive (like Sr-90 and Cs-137), but aren't terribly useful in a reactor. Yeah, yeah, you can use Sr-90 in a radiothermal generator, but it isn't terribly safe or economical to do so.
We're not talking about Pu (which isn't all that dangerous unless you eat it or use it in a nuke) as much as other other more highly radioactive elements like Sr-90 and Cs-137. Half life about 30 years, but even after 10 half lives, there's likely enough to deliver a lethal dose to anyone near the waste. Plus even short-lived isotopes decay to other radioisotopes.
If you have a drive with glass platters -- 95% of laptop drives, just throw it against a concrete floor or sidewalk repeatedly. The glass will shatter, making the drive irrecoverable by all but government actors with billions to spend. You'll hear the bits of broken glass rattling around inside when you shake the drive once it's destroyed.
Laptop 2.5" drives are also very thin. Put it between two bricks like a bridge, hit it with a hammer. The drive will actually bend, bending or shattering the disks and snapping the circuit board.
The glass platters are usually on laptop drives. Make them easy to destroy -- just throw the drive against a hard surface until you can shake it and hear the rattle of broken glass inside.
.... leaving the trim in full-down mode, reducing elevator authority to recover until the trim can be cranked back manually. Also, pulling breakers takes time, especially in a situation where there's a great deal of stress.
Why not just use a stick pusher, like any other non-FBW aircraft with stall issues? Design it so it can be overridden with appropriate back force on the control wheels. Using trim for this is stupid, since with full down trim, you might not have enough elevator authority to recover quickly from a dive (i.e. even if the system is turned off, trim may have to be cranked back manually before the plane can recover).
This looks like criminal stupidity on the part of Boeing engineers.
Key phrase... "should be there." A lot of cops would download the pictures off the phone, find a picture of a party from 5 years ago where people are smoking pot, making you obviously a big-time drug dealer whose car is subject to civil forfeiture.
If the DA does that, they'll get charged with Deprivation of Rights Under Color of Law (18 USC 242) and rightly so -- ideally with a visit to Club Fed.
They likely don't keep detailed records of data usage. How would one know if the 1MB used at the time of the crash was downloading a FB message with a photo (illegal) or streaming Spotify (legal)?

Zhirinovsky thought about this -- giant fans to blow radwaste across Poland. Do you want to be like a drunken Russian demagogue?
The Earth is a symbiotic organism -- all life is interdependent. She doesn't speak the King's English, but it Mother Gaia does indeed speak.

Privacy is a safety valve. The socially unacceptable often makes life enjoyable.
There may still be cache files on the main drive containing personal data.

The Russians did't like their production of heavy water for the German nuclear bomb program... oops, wrong century... :)

The fucking pigs were obliged to INVESTIGATE before arresting, not take one party at their word.

The cops (scum) did try to pressure him -- it doesn't matter, they thought they found a patsy.
Not good enough. They should do some prison time, ideally 2x as much a the total of the people whom they railroaded, in solitary confinement.
If the DA does that, they'll get charged with Deprivation of Rights Under Color of Law (18 USC 242) and rightly so -- ideally with a visit to Club Fed.
I don't have to explain my interest in my own privacy.
Bugger off, police stater. (Large corporate scum like insurers also fall under the "police state" rubric.)

Big difference between testing for alcohol in your body and having some stinking pigs riffle through the equivalent of your personal papers.
Who says there is? Maybe there's a compelling interest in population control.
