No, actually I first was discussing that its not classified to say you have a clearance, the next one was in response to the Gentleman that listed many clearance types, that are more specific, and detailed in a way which unlike him I would never disclose, because they give a more specific idea of what you actually do.

And yes they bring that up in training, but this isn't some town bar, and im not stupid, i would never disclose information that shouldn't be disclosed as I am VERY VERY VERY cautious about this. and even if you dont think so many of the clearance caviets you listed were in deed ones that should never be disclosed, and cant be listed online, unless you have access to SIPR.

I sometimes wonder how competent the intelligence agencies were when the Walker family was getting away with selling secrets for years.

Frankly, I don't see the need for all of this 'secrecy' anyway. It's (edit here) NOT like we're fighting Nazi Germany anymore......
