	One of the lessons we were taught in our security briefings was 
that just because something was publicly discussed somewhere (e.g., 
on a television show or in the newspaper) does not automatically make 
the information unclassified.

	I personally know of classified data that has been leaked and 
published in print, and that's about all I'll say on that particular 
subject.


	However, with respect to the windows and the masking system, I 
have not been told that this information is classified or sensitive.
