This is generally true, but there is the human factor of people getting lax. You would think something as simple as passive RFID stickers on all documents could be done to automatically scan as you go in and out of doors, but there is such a huge "nothing wireless, ever!" bias that the whole system is going to be stuck in error-prone human controls forever.
- gpm 3y agoPresumably "nothing wireless, ever" makes it much easier to detect malicious wireless devices...
- stubybubs 3y agoI could see legitimate risk with RFID tags. One of the tools sigint uses is simply the volume of transmissions going from one point to another. You can wrap tagged documents in RF blocking covers but eventually you'll have to unwrap them to view. You might even be able to infer the kinds of documents being moved if you track routes. White House to DoE etc. Sounds far-fetched but there have been some pretty wild methods lately about timing screen flashes to determine hash creation and stuff like that. Nothing is too far-fetched to intelligence gathering.
