Damn Paul... hella good. Sysadmins with root know they have access to all the information, but they do not look unless it is necessary. Maybe that is the big difference. I think it was the section on Inherent Rights vs. Acquired Privileges. The bad guys think "inherent rights", and hack into a machine to get the acquired privileges they need. Someone like Edward Snowden starts out with acquired privileges, and invokes the greater good clause to liberate the data that the public should have access to. 1992. Wow. This is pretty much what Ellsberg did in the 70s, but in hard copy form. This would be an interesting post to dump on g+. Imagine what might come out of the woodwork :) On Sun, Feb 2, 2014 at 9:36 AM, Richard Golodner <rgolodner () infratection com
