    This is bad stuff, really bad. I wonder who's behind it, the US government has already denied being responsible.

    I get the feeling the NSA is a law unto itself these days...

    They could destroy them or just make up report documents. Who knows if anybody will actually check if those reports are true and backed by other documents.
    Destroying or falsifying all documents (invoices, inventory lists...) would probably take too much time. But I doubt that anybody will be checking them either.
