Well it is one of the most obvious places to look for passwords.
su password
is quite a common mistake. as is ssh user-at-host password
I don't erase root's history in fact I am a huge fan of history. I love
that the long complex command I typed in last week or three weeks ago is
still lying around. I believe Jay thinks strongly about this also.
You were the one who wanted to "turn off" history.
man bash /hist should give you many possibilities
