If you have no trail at all, they will assume that you must be using things that are bad.
You can’t win.
After a little more thought, I’m willing to assume that those words came from discouragement about increasing public corruption in public-private partnerships. If so, I’ll offer some encouragement.
I’ve worked well in the past for the system in two different capacities and at the lowest and most tactical (physical) levels (also privately). I’ve also worked with computers, communications and related security.
A few things:
Improve personal health as much as possible. Get rid of any bad health habits in order to be more impeccable and strong. Don’t look so healthy while out in public (e.g., see “beggar style” in Asian movies). Use cash.
In case of meeting adversely with corruption, there’s an office to call. Become dutiful at documenting events.
Pride is not an asset for evil ones, who have too much of it. For one thing, it eventually exposes them. Give them lots of slack to be prideful. Let them surveil a good person. Better yet, let them “burn up” a good person (overzealous surveillance). Best yet, let them “burn up” a good person who looks too poor to sue.
Snap. We need new and better leadership in business, politics and academia.
