http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2015/aug/11/hillary-clinton-emails-contained-top-secret-materi/

The Daily Mail writes like they just found out what top secret means. Also, having worked with a security clearance before, it is entirely possible that those messages are 'over-classified.' Whenever someone doesn't actually want to look up how to classify something, they can always err on the side of caution and call it TS/SCI. It's literally a check box in the TS version of Outlook.

Yeah. I'm familiar with having to classify every single document you save. It's a pain in the ass and presumably better to err on the side of caution...except then we had to have a class on how we have over-classified documents out the ass and that's a problem too.

What do you do that you have to classify?

I have access to and routinely am in eyesight of SSNs, account numbers, DOB, addresses, whatever. Basically all your NPI is belong to me.
