re: #302 Obdicut

Leaks will occur - it’s how to manage the fallout and limiting the damage that is key.

Not sure what the technological answers to that problem are, but it may be something akin to data being self-limited (read only status can’t be copied or moved onto portable systems by those who lack necessary clearances for example). It would also require better supervision over those who have access to the data path.

It might also mean rejiggering the classified/secret status of documents, reducing the number of classified documents and increasing the number of secret documents so that the number of people who have potential access to particularly sensitive documents is more limited but that such key information can still get to who needs it in a timely fashion. It’s a balancing act.
