Ditto.
Though Google Docs has fixed some of that. Or Mobile Me.
On a second or tertiary note I think I've mentioned before that stuff I've written has been grabbed by entities and classified. Though the documents reside on my computer outside the walls the context of what I wrote to others had them classify it.
An entity from ODNI and another from DHS when briefed on my dissertation research asked to read it before I publish. Jokingly the person from ODNI suggested they would just have my work classified under the national secrets act which I guess was never actually passed. Ha!
Though I have not had a clearance in 2 decades nor am I currently seeking one I have been shown classified information. I think they call is "special access" or some such type thing. Entities wanted my opinion about something so they let me read some stuff and I gave an opinion. All I had to do was sign an non-disclosure-agreement and those were only for three years. Though I use that as an example of breaches in standard Bell-Lapadula security models there was a certain amount of trust.
Even though the entities likely couldn't care less years later I don't discuss the topics involved. Trust is a form of respect. The public need to know is not more important than my respect for the entities involved or their respect for me. Though I think wikileaks serves some purpose I wonder if it is more about people with no respect for their country acting like fools.
