This reminds me of a class I was in years ago taught by a fellow that 
had lived in Russia during the cold war.  He told us that the Russians 
were so paranoid about keeping data secret that they had a vast array of 
procedures/tools to keep anyone from reading the data.  However anyone 
could overwrite it at any time without doing anything special.  No 
safeguards at all. 

Well, I though it was amusing at the time.
