Especially on MS-Windows computers. There are all kind of recovery tools available. I'd be willing to bet they aren't even using NTFS.
I just happened to notice your tagline and began to recall how, many years ago, I made a statement on FR that this is NOT REALLY a free country. I got a lot of flak from folks calling me all kinds of names. Now I hardly ever read or hear the claim that this is still a free country. I guess people have finally started to see the truth.
I can’t recall who wrote this but I once read that in all of literature there are only two men who were actually free, the first being Adam before the creation of Eve and the second being Robinson Crusoe before Friday appeared.
