Reading the following warning made me think of something I did a few
decades ago. Suppose the C--- people hid something in a computer
program, delivered to us as components of "high-tech weaponry" - that
could be used against us when desired.

So I think of a diskette that had a simple ability that took some
digging to decipher - and what someone at C--- or elsewhere might do -
delivering something damaging in a weapon, that would be difficult for
us to defend against, assuming we never got told what was hidden.
The diskette did something useful and got sold to us as not for us to
copy - its producers wanted us to buy copies - for them to make $$.
Curiosity made me copy the records from the diskette to another. The
program KNEW this, even though the records were identical. Huh!
So, how might the program look at the diskette? Perhaps an XYZ
instruction. Looked desperately - and found nothing.
What I finally found: ONLY WHILE checking for being at home, the
program had XYZ instructions, which looked in the gap between a couple
records for a password code - and then the XYZ instructions
disappeared, in case someone might look for them.
