A viable alternative in hardware is to use a scanning device which does not have internal memory. This will be the case for most A4-sized document scanners, being that they use software installed on the computer and write data directly to the computer. Safeguards already in place should mean that this instead conforms. Obviously these larger devices are not as portable.
