So the penalty ought to be double, for being a dumb-ass dipshit. Kind of like double the penalty for conspiracy.

they have been doing this since laser color printers/copiers came out.

So if I print anything that is restricted, I should make a photocopy and throw the original away.

Three generations of copies, then a B&W scan or fax.

Edit:  I was doing call center tech support for printers and copiers back in 2001, and this had already been around for a while on color copiers and printers.  I wouldn't expect someone who didn't understand the concept of logging print jobs on a server to understand this, but I would question how the hell she got a security clearance.

Hmm, wonder if there will be a lawsuit against the federal government now.

The Third Amendment seems to have no direct constitutional relevance at present; indeed, not only is it the least litigated amendment in the Bill of Rights, but the Supreme Court has never decided a case on the basis of it.

The federal government today is not likely to ask people to house soldiers in their homes, even in time of war. Nevertheless, the amendment has some modern implications. It suggests the individual’s right of domestic privacy—that people are protected from governmental intrusion into their homes; and it is the only part of the Constitution that deals directly with the relationship between the rights of individuals and the military in both peace and war—rights that emphasize the importance of civilian control over the armed forces. Some legal scholars have even begun to argue that the amendment might be applied to the government’s response to terror attacks and natural disasters, and to issues involving eminent domain and the militarization of the police.

"Winner had been in touch with The Intercept by email through her work computer."



Did they really need the dots on the printer?

Plus Ms. Winner used her work computer to communicate with an expose news outlet.  How ironic -Winner using her work computer.

That's what I thought, but when just telling a friend about this like a month ago he didn't believe me that the printer could tell the difference so we ran to his printer and it made a reasonably good looking $20 bill.. I was shocked cause it was a new printer and when I tried this on my printer many many years ago it gave the error not to print. Hmmm

Just checked on a home printer and industrial type office printer. Both made a decent copy. I guess they changed that "feature"
