Once, through a contact of a contact, I was able to get hold of some 
mechanical drawing I needed.  This was nothing confidential, the product was 
already released and anyone in the public could just buy whatever it was in 
and measure it.  Anyway, they would only hand over a *paper* version to my 
contact, and my contact had strict instructions to only show this to me 
under his supervision and then shred it!  This was totally WTF I couldn't 
believe what was happening.
