I think the thing is that people who know how to "run clean" and
always leave no traces of what they've been doing should be given the
option to do so. Just make sure people realise it is very difficult...
I always try to do that when dealing with sensitive data from people I
work for, mainly passwords to servers and the like. I try to be
carefull to shred any temporary files I'm working with and to
regularly clear my swap partition. Everything else stays encrypted
with a long passphrase. Not easy and it'd still be easy to install a
keystroke logger.
Of course the whole exercise is delusions of grandure, like anyone
really cares about the unimportant stuff I deal with.
