We scrub ours through the service provider where I work, but any time you walk into one of those self service places - Kinko's, Office Depot, Staples, or your local grocery/convenience store, that is very scary.  They all scan to memory somewhere.  I try to do this stuff on my MFC at home whenever possible.

Makes sense...I was shocked when I saw this.  Just one of those things you don't really think about...

Throughout the sixties, the CIA had a micro-camera hidden in the Xerox 914 photocopier located in the Russian Embassy. The machine was such new technology that it needed to be serviced by a Xerox technician every two weeks to keep it working. As part of his service, he would remove a fifty foot roll of film and replace it with new film on every visit. The technician was never caught, and was one of the most effective spies in the history of espionage. 

Have fun,
Jerry

WOW!  Never heard that one.

I once watched a good Discovery Channel show about the whole affair. This article talks about it, but it's not nearly as detailed as the Discovery version.

The more things change, the more things stay the same. 

Have fun,
