Actually, it has nothing to do with what some poor FBI agent wants to do. It has to do with what some U.S. Attorney wants to do, and yes, they often times want to put a company under financial hardship, as it's much harder to defend yourself when they've taken all of the records. Trying to get it all back in a reasonable amount of time before your business goes under is an exercise in patience, to say the least.
On once contract we had with the government, we automated all communications between our employees, but if when we presented the final reports, we'd e-mail them to our employee who was working in one of their buildings, and he'd have to print out each piece (which was a Word DOC, some images of court documents that had been faxed to us, and some images of handwritten statements), then take the report to one desk, and the attachments to another desk, where they would be scanned back into their system. So, yes, they OCR a lot, but they also re-scan printed images that were already submitted in the correct format to be imported into their systems, therefore making them even harder to read, if they ever found their way back into the original report to begin with. I can see using TNR 14 as an improvement in legibility for documents that are going to be printed, scanned, printed, scanned, faxed, printed, and scanned again.
