query: What is the purpose of examining the contents of bypassed data in the context of multilevel security systems?
answer: In the context of multilevel security (MLS) systems, examining the contents of bypassed data is a vain attempt to ensure that no secrets are contained within the data. This approach is flawed because it relies on trusting aspects of the data (such as its format), which contradicts the fundamental assumption that the source of the data is untrusted and could have been corrupted.
