For those of you who are not on the IDS list, very interesting
thread coming up, honeytokens.  Resources (such as word
documents, excel spreadsheets, webpages) that no one should
be touching.  Same concept as honeypots, but you are applying
it to individuals items (hence the term tokens).

Ross Anderson's Big Red Book Of Security (Security Engineering?)
mentions some hospitals in the Boston, MA, area to have bogus medical
records in the names of the Kennedy family; employees found accessing
those records are brought in for questioning on the grounds of probable
policy violations.
