Flip open the lid of a scanner, lay the paper on the glass, close the lid and hit "scan" and "save."

There. Sorted. Every document in state custody saved electronically. And those others, the ones produced on computers (that would be 99.9 percent of all state documents) -- require the state to make available electronic copies and require state agencies to maintain adequate backup procedures.

Or are we to believe the state's few dozen remaining journalists, and the fewer than a dozen working state agencies can actually read documents hundreds of pages long, efficiently analyzing them without benefit of such technical innovations as the "find" feature in most document software?

Nobody is minding the store. That is why inventory is walking out the door in broad daylight.
