- whalesalad 4y agoYou’re not wrong - but “If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?” comes to mind.
- havblue 4y agoThe espionage act treats negligence with strict liability. So if you "could have" caused a leak, it's still treated like a leak.

- dragonwriter 4y ago> The espionage act treats negligence with strict liability “Negligence” and “strict liability” are different standards, you can’t treat one with the other. > So if you "could have" caused a leak, it's still treated like a leak. That’s very much not how the Espionage Act works, even just on the statute and beforr considering Supreme Court precedent limiting its application.
- havblue 4y agoMy original explanation wasn't that good and yes, I conflated the espionage act with how this situation would be handled (by the DOD) https://www.cyberdefensemagazine.com/data-spill-an-everyday/ https://www.cyberdefensemagazine.com/data-spill-an-everyday/ This is a better summary. At the start, everyone's phones would likely be confiscated and, I would think, destroyed, if they were discovered to have classified data on them. However, if the data was in the cloud it would be an even bigger deal.
- JackGreyhat 4y agoNo...But it creates pressure in the form of soundwaves, which could be picked up by ears and brains to translate it into sound ;) Everything required to make sound is there. Was that your point?
