Obama points out that people in government service take laws and regulations seriously. I think everybody here who’s worked in a federal government environment, classified or unclassified, can attest to that. It’s the people who ignore laws and rules when it doesn’t suit them who figure that everybody else does the same thing too.

Information aggregation will always be an issue. If you know where one military shipment of beans is going it’s no big deal. If you know where every military shipment of supplies is going within a theater that is a big deal and quite sensitive, but there’s no sharp line somewhere between the two that says what’s sensitive and what’s not.
