Before: copy file to thumbdrive/cellphone. Now: take picture with cellphone.

Collect cellphones at door. Put them in steel cabinet. When workers leave, they can get the phones on the way out.
But they'll never expect you to have two cellphones!
How about one of the microfilm devices they used to use in 60s spy movies?
You mean Google Glass?
Because no person has two cellphones.
If you are willing to risk smuggling one in and are foolish enough to think they cannot detect the radio waves, then go for it.
there is significant time overhead and increased visibility/decreased quality(in terms of usability) in this method. a 100 page document would take a long time to photograph, but not as long to transfer, and you'd be less visible.
Not only that but you need to be physically present to take photos, that isn't the case where hacking is concerned.
If you look at the last two "major" leaks (manning, snowden), they didn't involve any hacking at all. Employees simply abused their privileges to copy information.
Yes, but that would make spy movie believable and thrilling again.
