BTW, I sense some confusion in the force. Wonder where that could have come from??
Oh, and is this school play? A red herring? Hmmm.... I wonder what else was going on today?? Hmmm....

Today, The Intercept released documents on election tampering from an NSA leaker. Later, the arrest warrant request for an NSA contractor named "Reality Winner" was published, showing how they tracked her down because she had printed out the documents and sent them to The Intercept. The document posted by the Intercept isn't the original PDF file, but a PDF containing the pictures of the printed version that was then later scanned in.
The problem is that most new printers print nearly invisibly yellow dots that track down exactly when and where documents, any document, is printed. Because the NSA logs all printing jobs on its printers, it can use this to match up precisely who printed the document.
In this post, I show how.
You can download the document from the original article here. You can then open it in a PDF viewer, such as the normal "Preview" app on macOS. Zoom into some whitespace on the document, and take a screenshot of this. On macOS, hit [Command-Shift-3] to take a screenshot of a window. There are yellow dots in this image, but you can barely see them, especially if your screen is dirty.

She and Bradley Manning would make a cute couple.
Reality Manning?

Not exactly a feminine figure. Is she really female or is she really a he? No hip, flat chest, broad and muscular shoulders and arms- if not for the caption and the sport bra I would assume male no questions asked.
As far as I’m concerned this is all a “school play”.
This is a name you would only find at a dog-track.
That isn’t how they got her. They noticed there was a crease in the picture, which told them it was printed out.
They looked to see who printed out that document, there were 6 people, and she confessed when they asked her.
Note that they didn’t NEED to see the picture — I’m pretty sure that once they knew the document was out, they would have checked who accessed it, and would have started with the 6 people who printed it out.
So really what outed her was the paper identifying the document so the NSA knew what document to look for.
Reality is a bitch.
Haha quote of the day. For realz.
Not quite.
Whenever any secured doc is printed, all secured printers leave a watermark that is difficult to see.
The watermark is easily spotted by certain scanners, even if it is a copied doc.
She should have known all this, you can make many generations of copies at a private copy center, but watermarks have coding that all private copiers “pass on” to the copies made.
You would have to spot the location of the watermark and physically cut it out of the doc to conceal the origin.
She is busted because she is sloppy, and or a highly motivated moron.

Can’t make out the text/meaning??

Sorry. I was implying the Reality Winner thing was an intentional distraction from real issue(s) at hand. Comey testifies Thursday. Missing Clinton email recovered from Huma’s relatives house. That sort of thing.
Oh?
Even mine at home??
