Data is like uranium. Useful in specific ways, but also dangerous.
PII is like plutonium: similarly useful, but much less of it is needed before it becomes a Problem.
This metaphor allows for a lot of useful insights around structuring how you hold and secure data.
And it also means that a recall-tainted system can be seen as the metaphorical equivalent of the Hanford site.
