If this is verified, I think a black band is 100% warranted. As I understand it, she was a real innovator in VLSI, which I think we all agree is somewhat important :)

Hey guys, I have a novel exploit that lets you compromise any Linux system if you have the disk encryption keys, root password, and physical access.
The crash dump thing was just a hypothesis, then. Not great that they have no idea where they got signing keys, still.
Honestly sounds like the return of reading law, a kind of legal apprenticeship (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reading_law), as opposed to a new experiment.

Probably just a person to person thing, but I used to commute on the tube, and I loved tunnels. Way more than riding bus through some parts of London.
