opsec?

[StaffiT]

Operations security - Loose lips sink ships.

Example: I know of this one person who is a big time Zero-bot that works at one of these charities.

It might not be a good idea to be known around town as a “Hoarder” as they would call it.

"opsec?"

Operations Security. The less others know about your preps the less you have to worry about having to fight to protect them.
There are always plenty of 'Zombies' and 'grasshoppers' around who will want what you have and believe you should share your preps and believe me nice people can get ugly real quick in panic situations. Look at the fights a stores that break out when blizzards are on their way or over bottled water when there is a big water system breakdown. It is explained best by this quote which I placed in my Preparedness Manual:

"Let me tell you something about humans, nephew: They're a wonderful, friendly people - as long as their bellies are full and their holosuites are working.
"But take away their creature comforts, deprive them of food, sleep, sonic showers, put their lives in jeopardy over an extended period of time and those friendly, intelligent, wonderful people...will become as nasty and as violent as the most blood-thirsty klingon." Quark from: The Siege of AR-558 (#7.8)" (1998)
