You know those times when you come across documents marked “Secret” in your garage or root cellar, and you’ll be doggoned where they came from? Yeah, me neither (despite my Navy-ordained security clearances and past access). Neither has my colleague Jack Butler, apparently.
One reason (a very good one) that I’ve never unearthed a few hundred pages of nuclear-engineering worksheets in my off time is that the classified documents and assignments issued to me were kept in lockers secured by reinforced combination padlocks in a guarded government facility (the infamous Rickover building) located on a Navy base protected by the swamps of South Carolina and armed military police (Masters-at-Arms).
