They should have just asked Comey what was he thinking?

I’m sure if Comey, who told us all what was Hillary’s true intention’s were......could surely tell us what this guy was

intending to do. Problem solved.

None of that annyoing film developing either.

I guess that Minox is pretty much all mechanical so no electronic snooping or tracking.

No doubt it’d be tough now.

Any existing stock probably isn’t usable now.

I miss doing darkroom development. It’s been so long, I have forgotten most of the setup and chemicals.

Perhaps he should have set up a private server, in his bathroom or bedroom.

I photo documents and know that the old way was definitely inferior to the I phone.

the small film camera worked and was the best available but time and stuff move on

i had a canon, not a minox

Yup, and of course they tracked all that stuff..

Now you just need an iPhone that records voice, films and takes picks with an app! Send it to the cloud LOL

Crazy days.

Imagine what would have happened to us, back when security was taken seriously.

ASA Vet, imagine if the employee was named Hillary Rodham Clinton, she'd be nominated by the democrats for president!

Laws for the Lords, other laws for the folk.

Yeah, it really is two words.

“Nevermind” is a 90s grunge album.

10 and 10. 10 years and $10,000 just for revealing the EXISTENCE of such info, not actually possessing it which I have no idea what that penalty would be (shot at dawn?).

“Imagine what would have happened to us, back when security was taken seriously.”

Interesting question of yours. Back in our era, I never even considered it or had reason to. Working at AHS main building we were never searched and could have eventually made off with just about anything. The xerox machine was not secured, anything could have been copied. But ours was a different era, we had pride and honor, something missing in todays world.

But to give a more direct answer to your question, I had burn bag duty with another guy, walked off my post for a minute and was threatened with an A15.

I recall an incident at Devens at the end of one of my 98C classes. The Students turned in their classified working aids one at a time, holding them up so I could see the document as it was collected by the class leader.

One student was missing a document which was SECRET Code Word. It was a multiple page working aid, but was a controlled item with a number which corresponded with his student number.

Each Student had an accordion file in which to keep their working aids. The file had their number on it and were collected and stored in the vault before lunch break and at cob daily.

That student's personal gear back at the barracks was searched by the school security officer. He was hauled away and interrogated by both the base security officer and the SSO. His scheduled post graduation flight was put on hold, and he was restricted to quarters pending the investigation.

I too was interviewed by the SSO, as I was the Lead Instructor that cycle. Myself and all the other instructors, to include our Captain, were required to go though every safe in the vault looking for that one missing document. We did that three times, with different two person teams. All the burn bags were emptied with the contents examined by the the instructor teams.

At the end, the SSO made the determination that the missing working aid had been inadvertently placed in a burn bag by the student after the teaching segment which used it had been completed. The student had an "Aw Shit" memo placed in his record, but was released to leave Devens.

The post incident review resulted in a couple changes in procedure.
1. All one time use working aids were to be collected at the end of that segment, rather than kept in the students individual file until the end.
2. All numbered controlled material had to be inventoried, before the students left for lunch, and before COB. The training schedules were adjusted to allow 15 minutes before lunch break and end of day.

Personally I became a much meaner Sgt.
