Could be trickier than they think. One of the NSA's original and continuous missions have been what they refer to as "technology retrieval", a fancy way of saying "theft and espionage". It should be pretty clear by now that their mission have influences on American technology, CPUs and operating systems being most relevant to this. Since a few years back (mostly after the NSA and CIA leaks) I firmly believe that if you are using Intel or AMD CPUs and are running Windows or macOS, and if your computer is connected to the internet and can clearly be identified, then all and any information in it can be retrieved. It's definitely a good thing that the Japanese still prefer keeping sensitive documents and paperwork on actual paper.
