Some years ago a friend who worked at the Royal Radar Establishment told
me that the security people used to go around at night checking to see
if any classified documents had been left around.  At that period most
people had been in the services either during WWII or National Service.
So one day a security man got the Personnel Dept to give him a list of
people's old service numbers, he then went around and tried those
numbers on the safes in each office.  Needless to say most had used
their old service number as the combination so he left them a little
note inside the safe, suggesting that they find something more secure.
