If you never clean old files from your computer, you are probably a terrorist. Follow my reasoning. First, we are more secure if we never reveal our weaknesses, which is to say, anything. But sometimes we have to, for example, give political speeches; in those cases we minimize danger by allowing only major news networks and cheerleaders to listen. Other cameras are not allowed. Second, if an accidental disclosure does occur, we remove it from any official records. This security measure can be defeated by saving information, thus whoever saves information is a risk to national security. Protect our children!
I said no (as I’m sure was obvious) without slowing down and went on to catch my train. Now I wish I had stopped to probe a little deeper.
