Obviously the greatest security is in the physical destruction of the media, which is not practical in this situation. The next method with the greatest validity is to over write every bit of the media with other data multiple times. I know of nothing that will do this on a PPC. The least most secure is erasure of the data. This is generally recoverable, at some expense and effort, by a knowledgable technician. And, of course, most unsecure is to not even erase the data. In some cases (e.g.: a "bricked" PDA), this is the only option, unfortunately.
