Adelene ... please, PLEASE stop giving the "Clippy" character ideas!
Clippy came up with the theft idea all on eir own, actually - my original suggestion can be just as easily parsed as an idea for less costly security for paperclips that are being stored on Earth.
Also, consider: If Clippy is the type of being who would do such a thing, wouldn't it be better for us to know that? (And of course if Clippy is just someone's character, I haven't done anything worse than thumb my nose at a few taboos.)
