You know, I never thought about the prohibitions against sensitive data on
an unsecured device... which is strange, as I had a roll of film confiscated
until after the conflict. When I was last in service, the rule was if the
device in question had ever been networked with a machine containing
classified material, it had to be brain-wiped before leaving. The solution
was to transfer everything via floppy drives. Obviously that won't work for
the Newton, but it might save your other machine.
