Sometimes taking things from the library gets you more than just fined

Former Security Advior under Clinton Sandy Berger is being investigated for taking classified documents from the National Archives (and in some cases destroying them). The investigation has apparently been going on for awhile, but it has only been recently leaked to the press, causing hoopla on both sides of the political fence.
CNN.com - Berger says he made 'honest mistake' - Jul 21, 2004

I can see taking something out in a briefcase, or even a pocket. But if it turns out he did stuff things into his socks and in a variety of different hiding spots, that's going to be very, very bad for Berger, and I'd say rightly so, if the allegations are proven. (Hey, just because I'm a Democrat doesn't mean I'm slavish about it. Politicians acting badly should get their comeuppance regardless of party.)
