You wouldn't even have to take it apart. Just subject it to analysis using
SQUID's. Using this technology you would not even have to physicaly touch
the card, let alone remove any parts of it.

Excuse me, but April Fool's Day isn't until tomorrow. Besides, all
you have to do is run the card through a transporter, and then
dump the pattern buffer to a floppy. :)
