WTF are you talking about?

"Canada, USA, Britain and Australian Eyes only"

There you go. If you need a translation into "Moron" see Bagpuss!

No wonder I hate dogs!

OK, I get the notion of you quoting 4 countries. Now put it into the context of what 'classification of clearance' means as what you've said makes no sense to me and I've worked with this stuff for years...

From the Beeb

"An unnamed Cabinet Office employee was suspended after the documents were left on a train seat and handed to the BBC."

Why not sacked?

Ok, it means that only members of the UKUSA agreement may see the document.

Is that spelling it out clearly enough?
(Yeah, I know New Zealand signed up to UKUSA but hey, wgaf?)

I wonder how long the BBC sat on this story before releasing it?

Also, why didnt the person who found it take it straight to the police?

Instead, that person gave it to the BBC who then electronically copied the documents, which in turn now makes them part of the problem.

Yes the numpty who lost the documents should be taken behind the nearest bike shed and given a bloody good beating...but so too should the person who found them (for not handing documents to the police) and the beeb for copying the documents.

Prolly thought the beeb would look after it better and not lose it again.

They can not put them in the public domain. They can publish them, but they remain secret, not in the public domain.

And you are then guilty if you download it. Actually in the special case of the OS acts, you are guilty if you prepare for committing the offence, which it sounds to me like you are doing ......

What? you mean by turning on my PC I am preparing to download illegal material! gosh! what happens when I start my car..am I preparing to kill a pedestrian?
