Well, if you want to take an Orwellian perspective, a person could write a
script in Java to access all kinds of information on the local drive(s),
even take it a step further and gather information from all attached drives
the host has rights to.  People got upset about Prodigy and their antics a
couple of years back - I'm not sure how they will react to scripts that
gather information from the local computer covertly.
