re: CNN has the recording.

You are wrong about that. Only top secret documents are stored in a scif, and no one overseas checking those out.

Secret can be stored in a safe in an office.

I had secret documents in my office. When I got them out, they were in a folder. When transporting them. They stayed in the folder.

When reading them, you would close the blinds, put a secret sign on your door and close your door.

After I was done with them, they went back in the safe for storage. I had to log when I got the documents out of the safe.

We also had rooms with locks on them that you had to sign in and out of. They weren't as secure as the SCIFs. I could be in there by myself. There were computers in there that you could use classified data on.
