I think the point is that the copy is not destroyed but used as scrap. I have had mine copied probably half the visits/hotels. Didn't like it but just thought it was necessary for their visitor log. Anyway I agree that the copy should not be kept. Will keep it in mind for future to ask for the copy back.
