FBI should retrieve the hard drive from the copy machine.

Some copy machines store scanned images of material copied.

TFG might have made copies to hand off.

1. Also I have heard (Machine Identification Code) that you can identify

which copier produced specific copies. Lets say they recover one of these documents in someone else's hands, then additional evidence of a crime.

2. Guessing they didn't miss anything.

Our 800 lb. Gorilla, the FBI.

3. Maybe TFG learns about it and gets super worried.

4. I'm sure they would know to do that

It isn't uncommon for larger copier/printers to have hard drives. There are security features associated with the HDDs that may or may not be deployed. For example, at work we have some large production copier/printers with HDDs. These units print documents with PII and HIPAA information so we have the systems overwrite the HDD data per DoD 5220.22 at a minimum....so the HDDs may be useful, or may not.

5. I only mentioned this to help inform others of that ability. Likely not known by most.

6. Ooooooh, nice

7. I'm sure they don't need any help!

8. Also some fax machines?

Personal, company, national security?

9. Pull the imaging drums too

There's a way you can examine an imaging drum in a copier to see what it's been used for. When I was working with Super Secret Stuff, our contracts with copier vendors said that when a copier gets traded in, they'll get it back without the drum.
