True enough the sensitivity of aformentioned documents is at best questionable, however this doesn't an any way adress the complete idiocy of federal agents involved. Like the man said encryption would have made the contents of the documents a non-issue. The sad truth is, this level of incompetence regarding electronic information security is the standard, not the exception.
