[R-390] security classification

[Bernie Doran]

yep, likewise, I had secret documents in my hands once at North American 
Rockwell,  signed out, signed in, from a vault, and in your sight/ control 
at all times, if you went to the can they went with you!!! confidential was 
much less so and stored in the work area. Never even heard how top secret 
was done. I would wager that it, and you had to remain in a totally secure 
area.  anyone with top secret clearance had a red dot on thier id badge, 
almost all I ever saw( people) worked in advanced design.    That is why I 
think this is just another story, perhaps secret during design and maybe 
confid. later but even that had all docs stamped top and bottom.     Bernie 
P.S. and then the is the  letter clearance!!!
