I can understand this rule for media, but what military secrets could
possibly be latent in 10 year-old silicon that probably hasn't seen any

Not that I'm saying the agency I work for doesn't have silly rules like
that, but I never cease to be amazed with the wasteful attitudes of the
public sector.
