So they couldn't have copied the contents and set the thing back so that FOX wouldn't have been the wiser?
The claim is that they did this so that they could show their texts were being monitored? You believe this? Nevermind, your opinion is just as valid as mine.

I just read an article of Fox's website about the recovery of the information that UPS lost. Frankly, I'm baffled.
I'd assumed that it was a package of original printed documents that they wanted to vet. Turns out they were shipping A USB FLASH DRIVE via UPS.
I do not understand!
If I wanted to convey digital files across the country, it'd never occur to be to ship them by courier on a flash drive. Kind of defeats the whole purpose of digitizing. Digital transfer of data is a no-brainer.
I'd definitely employ redundancy. You know Fox News has bandwidth and clouds pace. You upload the data redundantly to two or three storage spaces then give your recipient access. That download and it's all transferred
Just seems like sending a flash drive by courier is kind of a non sequitur.
Anybody have any idea what that was all about?

Possibly if this is laptop data and supposedly there are child porn images on it transmitting child porn is considered a pretty bad thing to get popped for.
Also in theory hard copy sending is more secure, lot of ways to steal in transit data.
But If I was a betting man if the kiddie porn imagery theroy is true then thats why.

Or it is all BS and FOX is no different than the rest of the MSM and wanted to draw viewers with a cloak and dagger bit.

What has been verified?
Does anyone know for sure if they are the laptop documents?

In the first video in the article linked in the OP, at 0:22 he says: "we should tell you that the documents did not come from Tony Bobulinski".
Regardless of what the documents actually were, playing up the monitored texts/intercepted mail angle was political/MSM theatre.
