Those particular papers didn't contain state secrets, but the WH mouthpieces miss the point,
which is that if you're making copies for a significant WH event you don't ever make them on a public photocopier at all, because most modern printers store the images on an internal hard drive, which is a significant security risk. And don't make matters even worse by leaving the originals in the copier. Those papers did include the phone numbers of several WH aides, which shouldn't have been public. The documents themselves were pretty innocuous but that's beside the point. Whatever they were should not have been copied on a device available to the public.
Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
