The Federal Records Act disagrees. Everything should have been turned over to the responsible departments for record keeping, and letting them decide what should be destroyed and what should be preserved.

Put the shoe on the other foot and imagine a political leader who you detest having this done, if you want to try to find the line between "plausible opsec" and "plausible criminality."

Not being under subpoena is not to suggest that destroying these devices was motivated by a pure heart towards opsec security for the US.
