That reminds me of when I worked as a consultant with a company that did a lot of military contracts. I had to start on a project right away but couldn't work with sensitive data until my security clearance came through. So I did what any programmer would do, I made up a bunch of data to test the code. The software would produce reports which had to have to have the word SECRET clearly visible on the first page. The funny part was, I wound up producing several boxes full of bogus reports which had to be treated as secret. So they had to be stored and destroyed according to military specs.
