That just reminded me of a book I read about one of the larger 
pre-Mitnick computer crime trials (perhaps it was one of the Captain 
Crunch/Phiber Optik/Acid Phreak generation?).  It was finally brought to 
a halt when it was discovered that the "secrets" that the defendant was 
accused of stealing, supposedly worth millions (related to E911 IIRC), 
were actually for sale in an obscure AT&T technical documentation sales 
catalog for $26.
