My thoughts are that if you're interesting enough to an authority -
they would likely be aware of such canary in use. And ppl have to be
aware of it for it to be useful.

If you don't publicize it as a "feature" until after you've been
served papers, they'll call it obstruction.

And I would think a NSL that could tell you to preserve anything -
could also tell you to keep this file in a running state.

I think it's a neat idea but I anticipate just this thread alone
triggered someone to add this warning to a SOP somewhere to mitigate
against in legalese. -Ali
