This is why I have some sympathy for the military guys who have to decide what knowledge to classify. We're told all the horror stories about stupidly-held secrets that don't need to be secrets, and it isn’t that I don't believe them. And the boundaries of one military airfield may not be that big a deal. But sometimes really important secrets can be noodled out from seemingly innocent data, and knowing that one can't foresee all the problems must keep those guys up at night.
