It is often said that offense is the best defense and while I agree with that some of the time, sometimes I think defense is the best defense. One of my best defenses has always been hiding in plain sight. If no one can see me, if no one has any idea that anything is wrong, if no one has any idea that I have a secret then they won’t go searching for it… right?
