    Hm. I take a DOS disk out with me when visiting people whose machines
    need fiddling with at work. And a disk editor, and a binary file
    editor, and a couple of other things.

    gadget to zap their disks as they walk in the door... or climb in
    the window... :)

    approach to cryptography, stealing people's keys (to paraphrase
    Mr Gwyn).
