The One-Minute Meeting

The FBI searched a second home owned by President Joe Biden to see if they could find any classified documents. They found none. This is the third search of Biden’s files, in addition to files kept by former President Donald Trump and former Vice President Mike Pence, which raises the question of why there are so many secret documents out there.

One answer is that a heck of a lot of documents get marked secret that should not be. By one estimate, one government document is marked secret every three seconds, mounting up to 50 million documents a year. Who can keep up with all of that when thousands of people have the authority to mark documents as secret?

I will explain what should be secret, why so much gets protected that should not be and how overprotection can be just as harmful as underprotection.
