Worked at a place that provided service to NSA. They would evacuate the facility and do their own film processing. Then they would flush the chemical tanks contending that the silver left over could be analyzed. It is amazing how stupid BOSSES can be.

The security officer made us bag the chad from the card punches and burn it as classified waste. He said that someone could determine information from the chad that was punched out and even know what characters had been punched by how the chad fell in the bucket. He never did make Lt. Colonel.

I am sure that my first IT boss still has some chad. ... We used to tape a bag full of it to the bottom of a door in university residence and then drop a book on it. It would blast all over the room. We used to do it with shaving cream; Chad was more 'effective'. -teD In God we Trust!
