I don't think that passes DoD requirements either.
The drill press? It certainly does for non-classified media. Classified media requires a thorough degaussing optionally followed by physical destruction. Incineration is also an option for classified media.
Incineration is also acceptable for flash media. Repeat statement about how flash-based media are consumables.
But I don't need to make the DoD happy, I just need to destroy the encryption key.
And all I -- for some value of "I" which may not be myself -- have to do is find a way to recover that key which, depending on [insert everything about potential weaknesses in algorithms and schedulers and not-really-random number generators here] may not be that difficult. Depends on your threat model.
Or you could use RAM-based SSDs instead of flash. Almost instant sanitizing when power is removed.
