Yes you could but how would you distinguish the MCT Top-Secret-Research
Unit's LTG number from the local Stuffer Shack? Your smart frame will not
be able to connect to these LTG numbers and I am sure that there won't be
any big signs in the Matrix saying "Top secret info here --->". You would
have the numbers but you would not know what they connect to. Also the
smart frame probably will trigger a passive alert and make any attempts to
deck the system more difficult. Also, if you wait until the system cools
off the corp would probably have changed the number.
