    Communist nations only allow the most loyal to get a passport and enjoy a free education in the USA.
    Makes it hard for the CIA and MI6 to make an offer about spying when returning to China.
    Generations got educated in the West and China kept its own secrets.

  17. Re ' no matter how much you vet employees, putting them in a position of trust"
    Think of how bad the total loss of information had to get that needed a per document per person in the mil/police tracking :)

    Vetting works well. Think of the NSA, the GCHQ after the 1970's and CIA.
    Understand the person. Their politics, their education. The politics of their friends. Who educated them. The politics of their university. Faith and lifestyle.
    Friends, bank accounts, spending habits, reading material. Hours of interviews with everyone who knew that person. Governments and the mil can slowly work out if a person is going to be loyal to their country.
    The tick is to always hire only when considering security.

  18. Re "anticipation of this sort of thing"
    To go with the full cost to embed invisible identifiers shows they cant trust any of their gov/mil workers.
    Too many people who will never be loyal to France have been granted work deep in gov and mil.
    So many with split loyalty who are supporting other nations, their faith.
    The only way to keep the flow of information sharing from the NSA, GCHQ is to offer total security over all documents.

    The question is why France allowed this rather good system of security to get attention.

    Every offical, mil and gov worker with a clearance now knows the document have used are created just for them and are all tracked.
    Mil and gov officials of any rank now also know they will never be trusted by their own gov no matter their ability and past work.

    Re 'I wonder if there would be a way to embed invisible identifiers in docs in fonts, line spacing, punctuation, hyphenation etc. that could withstand modification to a greater or lesser degree."
    The software offered would have to remain useful after a photocopy, photo, OCR, scanning and average consumer computer file creation.
