Hi Avi AY> Running the uninstall script of TB is the same as accessing TB - it is like AY> being within TB.
Not so. To remove an account from within TB, one must first access that account - as in, be able to see the folder list and contained messages. This is not true of the uninstall process. And here is where I believe the confusion lies: there are at least two ways to use the word 'security'. 1. Protection of data content, so that unauthorised persons cannot read the actual information/intellectual property in files or messages. So, for example, if someone takes your computer, as long as the data are encrypted, your plans to take over the world using a flock of genetically-engineered giant watermelons can never be uncovered. And if someone deletes the files which contain the specifics of that plan - like the formula for exploding watermelon seeds - your plan is still secure. Possibly moreso. To put it in non-electronic terms, if you write something in code on a piece of paper, this will protect the meaning but not make the paper invulnerable to fire, water or a child playing with scissors. 2. Protection of physical files. In this case, the intent isn't to protect from prying eyes but to protect from accidental or malicious deletion. As long as no-one knows the location of your secret watermelon patch, who cares how many files they delete? Again with the non-electronic analagy. Want to protect your hand-painted campaign map showing all the heroic exploits of your watermelon army from being defaced or destroyed? Hire a guard or lock the thing in a fire-proof bunker. I can't stress enough here, the sole intent of PGP et al is to protect intellectual property from being read and exploited by others. It's internal to files/messages, and as such can in no way protect them from overwriting, deletion or other changes at the operating system level. Long as no-one can read your ideas, crypto software's happy.
