Not all paper can be scanned or photo copied. Security paper works different than regular paper. You can buy it on Amazon it’s not hard to get ahold of. It is more expensive but it has advantages.

Scanning anything leaves a trail of meta data. Meta data is basically a digital finger print of the history of the file. Some interesting cases where meta data was used is BTK killer and Bill Clinton’s impeachment files. Both gotten by meta data.

Computers aren’t really secure in any sense. Yes you do things to make them safer but at some point you can find a weakness. Hardware, software, human error, social engineering, and any number of points of failure.
