Squids CURRENTLY do not die when they exit the water. This is a bug, as many of (the more informed among us anyway) you know. It will be fixed eventually. So, squid spawns in water, and dies out? This means that creating a squid grinder should be possible.
How would one go about this though?

Drops
= Signs
= Water Source
= Flowing Water
Note: Must be 2 wide, so that you can put signs under all the water blocks
Pretty simple actually

Allow me to make a suggestion, add a cactus trap under that and you could force them to go through a series of cacti that would eventually kill them.
It will destroy the item. Best to leave the squids alone to suffocate.
