I have often recommended that people use file erasure tools regularly, especially when crossing international borders with their computers. Now we have one more reason to use them regularly: plausible deniability if you’re accused of erasing data to keep it from the police.

I think OS X has a preference in the finder to always secure empty; perfect plausible deniability.
