I am waiting for someone to indicate that the machines have the capability to instantaneously SEND the scanned data to another facility where it will THEN be DECODED, SAVED and EVALUATED by ANOTHER agency.
Possibly to the National Security Agencies multi-billion dollar data center being built in Bluffdale UT.
