That is also why multi-level security and/or steganography exist. And
why, eventually, every court order will mandate randomization of all
data that wasn't decryptable. And why people will design stealthy
methods of signaling to their disk that such deletion orders are to be
disrespected. And why such drives will be forthwith banned. Et cetera,
ad nauseam.
So it goes.
