There are also other kinds of sensors. I suspect that a sensor good enough for a photo of a document can be pretty small and hide under a very small skin (or fake skin) aperture.

This has got to be one of the most retarded ideas ever.
Might as well just open up area 51 to all viditirs, and hand the Chinese and Muslim terrorists everything right now and be done with it.
That’d leave only the cover-up, bribes, sex scandal, and suspicious deaths to Wade through.

Gawd, what a pack of fools.

The same fools who brought you a plane designed by committee while eating a substantial part of the military budget, a navy ship with no weapons, an aircraft carrier that can only launch a plane once in a while ...

However, it does make it handy for the next duly selected Democrat President to find secrets to sell for campaign cash ...

In today's world everything is connected - military used to use dedicated lines until they started going with VPN/tunneling - they also encrypt before sending over the internet and decrypt at receiving end(s).

Problem is someone in the right place could potentially do the wrong thing....

No problem piling all the data they want up there as long as it’s encrypted and the keys aren’t also stored in the cloud.

Your smartphone can now pull up nuke plans. Go to cloud services.

Using household chemicals nonetheless.

“Cloud” simply means someone else’s server at someone else’s location on someone else’s network. If you can’t secure it physically, it is not secure.

“What could POSSIBLY go wrong?”

From the beginning US nuclear secrets have been obtained by foreign nations. Traitors, spies, hackers, politicians, bureaucratic bumbling, and sloppy security have resulted in the transfer of nuclear technology to China, Russia, Israel, North Korea, Iran and numerous rogue actors on the world stage. It may be the only people on the planet who don’t have possession of US nuclear secrets are average American citizens.

Not to say we concerned about the security of any location in which nuclear and military secrets are stored (cloud, hard drives, file folders). Even a file folder locked in a vault inside Fort Knox is vulnerable to being copied, photographed or memorized by a human being who then passes the information along.

The article below describes how the Chinese stole nuclear secrets out of the las at Los Alamos in the 1980’s and 1990’s, long before cloud technology was employed to store sensitive information. The human element will always be the greatest point of risk.
