But I can see the workstations in hotels and convention centers especially being rigged to copy that information.

I also assume that the majority of the stuff is meant for public discourse, but you never know.
My operating assumption is that anything I print from a public printer, regardless of the data transfer method used, may be reprinted by somebody else. Even printers themselves sometimes have recall functionality without anybody needing to install special hardware or software to steal docs.
