Brian,

By your comment, you seem to have missed the word "everything" in Paul's
above sentence.

Now, based on your Wikipedia link, could you please tell me what
classification level aerial photographs of barracks should be:

* Top Secret (TS) 
    The highest level of classification of material. Such material would
cause "exceptionally grave damage" to national security if publicly
available.

* Secret 
    Such material would cause "serious damage" to national security if
publicly available.

* Confidential 
    Such material would cause "damage" or be "prejudicial" to national
security if publicly available.

* Unclassified 
    Technically not a classification level, but is used for government
documents that do not have a classification listed above. Such documents
can be viewed by those without security clearance.
