How they're protecting the hard drive containing Trump's tax records

1 points by garyrob ↗ HN
"The hard drive—which includes potentially revealing notes showing how Trump and his accountants arrived at their tax numbers—is believed to be locked in a high-security annex in lower Manhattan. A spokesman for the Manhattan District Attorney’s office declined to confirm the drive’s whereabouts, but people familiar with the office presume that it has been secured in a radio-frequency-isolation chamber in the Louis J. Lefkowitz State Office Building, on Centre Street. The chamber is protected by a double set of metal doors—the kind used in bank vaults—and its walls are lined with what looks like glimmering copper foil, to block remote attempts to tamper with digital evidence. It’s a modern equivalent of Tutankhamun’s tomb."

The biggest thing I hear among new Trump supporters is how is is treated. I say keep this sort of thing up.

We have just begun to fight back against the portion of the population with a vested interested in pseudoscience like the wage gap myth and apocalyptic theory. We shall continue to make their inconsistencies and vanity known.

I look forward to casting my vote for President Trump or his endorsement and ultimately winning the battle against post modernist garbage.

"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience."

Impressive security. But... Wouldn't the IRS have a copy of said records? I wouldn't be surprised if this was a lot less secured.
