This is confirmed as I thought. This is OPEN SOURCE information so how could it possibly undermine national security!?

Sorry for the double post.

I have a new wireless mouse (which will be returned today) because it does not let me type much without a lot of trouble.

I'm trying to catch up to "real time," but in case no one else has explained:

it is not uncommon for material which is either UNCLASS or lower classified to be marked at a higher classification when compiled. 80-90% of the components of most any nuclear device (at the nuts n bolts level) are unclassified when examined separately, but when part of a complete schematic or even a parts list...whole different matter.

Able Danger is the perfect example. It reportedly only examined UNCLASS data, but the results/product definitely might be considered classified.

An argument could be made, not a good one I think, that the method used to analyze the data needs protecting. The problem with that is the method itself is open source. However I can imagine some flunky out protecting his posterior could convince his higher ups that the method did need protecting.
