Think of it this way.
You fired me, i had planned on living my life as it were, i might have a house and kids to take care of, you have essentially ruined me.

Now it might not seem right to destroy and take information, but that company is doing what they have to do to survive, so its only obligatory that we do the same. Laws of nature type thing.

Truthfully its up to the company to ensure they terminate with dignity when you are talking about positions of power.

I personally think logic bombs in software are different. They represent preplanning, months in advance. If you know it might be coming, its your job to find another job. Logic bombs ruin you as a programmer.

Truthfully, any retalitory actions only hurt the employee in the long run and really should not be used.

I dont disagree with taking information, People take roledexs all the time, how different is taking a database from grabing the contents of your filing cabinet?

Regardless of the above, the more respectible a company is in firing employees, the better off the company and the terminated employees are. Compensation packages really do remove much of the sting of being fired.
