Kremlin security agency to buy typewriters 'to avoid leaks'

    You just can't trust all this new technology :D

    Anyone got any Typewriters for sale?.
    A 486,540-rouble (£9,860) order for electric typewriters has been placed by the FSO agency on the state procurement website.
    The FSO has not commented on why it needs the old-fashioned devices.
    But an agency source told Russia's Izvestiya newspaper the aim was to prevent leaks from computer hardware.
    The source added that typewriters were already being used at Russia's defence and emergencies ministries for drafts and secret notes, and some reports had been prepared for President Vladimir Putin by typewriter.
    Unlike printers, every typewriter had its own individual typing pattern which made it possible to link every document to a particular machine, Izvestiya said.
