Comment on Umberto Eco: "the crypts of state secrets are not beyond the hacker’s grasp..."

Makes sense. Another article spoke of how documenting the Bush and Obama presidencies will be tough and probably not that thorough, as the juicy bits are written on scraps of paper that are immediately disposed of.

There is a market for an offline, secure technology, like a modern day codex.

The Bush and Obama White Houses are still producing documents at a far greater rate than any prior White House, I'm willing to guess. If anything, it'll be a difficult job because the Bush and Obama Presidential Libraries will be filled with so many dull emails between White House staff members that you'll never be able to find the interesting ones.

Anyway, the really juicy bits have always happened in face-to-face meetings.
