Explain. Because right now, you only look like an arrogant ass. I said I suspect, so you are more than welcome to explain to us how such folders and it's contents are tracked to ensure all documents have been returned, if there are no such markings on the outside. How did the government archive, store, and track such documents. Or the FBI know what they where looking for if there is no such way of tracking such documents and folders or know what the folders where supposed to contain if there is nothing to track it. Again, explain instead of being an arrogant ass.
Oh simmer down, wasn't trying to come off as an ass, just laughing at how something that
should be that logical absolutely isn't. The national archives probably have some kind of scheme like that, yes. I'm not 100% sure how the WH handles bundled documents set up in folders like this, so they
might also, but I sincerely doubt it. General documentation though? Absolutely not. Specific data may have some kind of document numbers for tracking purposes within a given scope of work (imagine 'we need to see diagram 11223344 for the radar cross-section of an SR-71' or something) but they most certainly aren't individually tracked/monitored like that. There's nothing keeping someone sitting at a classified computer, connected to a classified file server, from making a copy of a file there and stuffing it on another classified server, assuming they have permissions to do so. Also assuming some sysad hasn't set up file auditing, alerting, shit like that (which they generally don't). Sometimes TS systems get more heavily scrutinized but they still aren't tracking documentation at an individual level, just setting up controls to limit the flow of them.
There's simply too many documents to track them manually. Hell, classified emails alone would take a herculean effort to 'track' in such a scheme. It'd be like trying to QR code a beehive.
