How does adding a new bureaucratic vetting process in room 1000 make things more efficient? How does adding additional security, as stated, do that?

I think if you take the view of "they just want to shut down the central government" you'll get answers to why they are doing things.

The first step in killing the national archive is making it worthless. Adding extra stupid barriers to access data helps with that goal. The harder it is to use, the more likely a Coca-cola archive sponsored by taco bell will be able to compete.
