Well, think of it this way. Just by touching someone, not only could I read someone's current thoughts, but I could dig in deep and learn all their secrets. And you know how most magi clans entrust their successors with a Crest right?

Not that I'd ever try it, but I could learn several generations worth of magecraft if I touched a family crest. If the Association didn't get me for that, someone in the family would.
But hey! I have self-control and I don't like other magi very much.
