At which point you would have physical access to the CEO... if the
information he/she knew (or the power that he/she has) was that
valuable, you would not be able to get close enough to perform the
injection. This is why separation of duties/knowledge/location is
required for someone of this stature.
 
Ever watched the U.S. Secret Service or Donald Trump in person? The
protection mechanisms are fascinating to me....
