Then why is it sealed?

BBonds and I were discussing this issue before the info in this OP came out, and I speculated that it might be sealed to protect the identity of a confidential/insider source. Barry responded that this could have been accomplished with a redaction, also, as opposed to sealing the entire affidavit.

This certainly indicates that I may have been right about the insider source, but does not address Barry's observation that this could also have been accomplished in a less-onerous manner (redaction).

Who knows?
