I base my assumptions about internal security on a friend from high school who works at Daimler as an engineer now, who has been justly praised for her efficiency because, unknown to her employers, she gets her job done by 'sploiting her way around their draconian but incompetent IT department and avoids hoop-jumping and paper trails entirely. I know this because I've provided a few pointers for 'sploiting her way around The Process. She, unlike everyone else I know of our vintage, still cares about the best interest of her employer. She's both morally superior and more a sucker than all of us, but that's beside the point. I don't believe internal security and document control would be much of an obstacle at all.

I would never underestimate the paranoia of a man who (a) idolizes Robert Heinlein (b) was shafted out of Paypal by Peter Thiel.

It has been my experience that there's the paper trail, then there's the sneaky shit you don't even know about.
