back when snowden released info on prism etc i asked someone who worked in the IC if they knew about the program. as the info was still classified said individual could not speak about it. i pointed to the front page and was like, i think it’s been declassified…
point being: just because the info is on the front page does not change the classification levels for the govies.
and how long does it take a slow & lazy bureaucracy to declassify info?
hence the “oh yeah those things flying around nothing to worry about.”
we don’t need their “classified” info anyway we can figure it out just makes them look dumb & dumber because when it is public it will be of interest more for their shenanigans around the info versus the actual info.
