[comp.sys.sun] Classified Data

jms@uunet.uu.net (John Stephens) (03/28/91)

I have been told that only physical destruction of the disk is accepted as
a means of declassification. Apparently, data written to the disk "bleeds"
to areas of the media outside of the standard recording band, and this
stray information is vulnerable to interception if the disk is made
available with its functionality intact.
