Can it really be economically viable to have these scanned rather than just toss them out? I would imagine that anyone high enough in the EU to be a target is only using drives provided to them
The economical viability of things is way above my pay grade but if I were to hazard a guess it could be just to know who is "out to get you" or it could also be one of many forms of corporate welfare the same way the US shovels money into the F-35 bonfire to keep its arms industry afloat, the EU could be doing similar thing to keep its own security critical industries going, especially since Snowden.
