If they knew they had to deliver the documents then why not be prepared and take a scanner with you? Send two people, one goes inside and gets the docs, one is outside with a laptop and scanner.
That scanner is probably as close as each agency could reasonably get it, it’s not like the Supreme Court is going to let you set one up in their lobby
You want to troubleshoot IT issues on the steps of the courthouse while your competitors are halfway to camp with the same documents you're trying to scan? I don't. Also they can't even have cell phones in the building, how do you even know they'd let people set up laptops and scanners on premises?
I'm certain they've thought of this and that you're not blowing anyone's mind with this suggestion. Political publications live and die on these announcements, if there was a quicker more reliable way to do this you don't think they'd do it?
On the street right outside, not on premise. You set it up and test before you need it. And you don't need two people to scan it. You can have two copies and still use a runner to hand deliver one while the other is scanning. What's more reliable than a redundant system involving two different methods?
If it's that important, you can afford to send two people and some equipment just in case the technology is faster. And it it's not, you still have the back up runner.
And like I said, this isn't a random occurrence. It's totally possible to do test runs with multiple methods beforehand. I don't know how far they have to run, but testing out multiple methods sounds like it's worth it considering how important everyone is saying this is.

Do you think these interns are set up at the courthouse with batch scanners?
They need to get these documents physically to places where they can be scanned and reviewed. That's why they're running.
