It's usually the second lowest security level, just above "Public" and below "Secret".
Never heard it called that. What I have heard is something along the lines of "confidential but unclassified" which seems more descriptive to me.

The Capitol Police were either incompetent or complicit. There are literally no other options. They knew there would be a big protests, numbers put it around 200k~300k (a tiny percentage of which actually went into the capitol building mind you). If they weren't prepared for this: incompetence. But there are videos of people getting selfies with guards, and staying within the velvet ropes when coming in. Something is…
The Capitol Police seem to be a facade and don't stop crowds. Here's a different example from 2 years ago: "@womensmarch just took the Capitol. Women, survivors, and allies walked straight past the police, climbed over barricades, and sat down on the Capitol steps." https://twitter.com/EgSophie/status/1048634940169048064
It was apparently stolen from a conference room and used only for presentations. Still a bad look for Capitol Police and physical security operations.
I can't even count the number of times I have seen privileged information dropped onto a "presentation" laptop during a meeting. I hope they are better at controlling that than most.

Didn't one of the insurrectionists arrested require a Russian translator at his booking?

If they missed the opportunity at the Capitol the other day to plant listening devices though, they must be kicking themselves now.

They should beef up security. And keep it open. And not so obvious. The simple fact of the matter is that a violent riot stormed the capitol building and nearly overwhelmed local forces. Congress asked for extra help and it wasn't provided. Governors asked if they could send in the guard to help and the man whom stoked the riot gave no permission. It's a fucking miracle that January 6th wasn't one of the worst days i…
Um, the police waved them through. It was in cooperation with Capitol police. No 'overwhelming' necessary. Which is worrisome in a whole nother way. https://twitter.com/bumbera_steven/status/134727096998817382... video

What would enemy spies get out of that. Even prima fascie top military secrets like battle plans (those must be updated and shuffled regularly to prevent a situation exactly like that) have very little immediate usefulness. It's 21st century, it's beyond anybody's ability to hide things like size, dislocation, and basic capabilities of your force
Just wondering, small thing; did you mean to type "disposition" instead of "dislocation"?

> insurrectionists Peaceful protestors. Were the BLM people who stormed city hall in Seattle insurrectionists? Where the Black Panthers who took the California State Capitol in the 1970s insurrectionists? Stop with the bullshit name games. These were not rioters. They didn't set anything on fire. They should not have stolen or broken anything. That's wrong and bad and should be condemned. Those people should get fede…
> Were the BLM people who stormed city hall in Seattle insurrectionists? Where the Black Panthers who took the California State Capitol in the 1970s insurrectionists? No, because their goal wasn't to overturn a legally held election. > They had no plan. You got that part right.
When BLM stormed and occupied the city hall in Seattle, their primary demand was to remove the mayor.
“Hey hey. Ho ho. Jenny Durkan’s got to go!”

Really? Every place I have worked with more than about 50 employees has used full drive encryption, so a laptop being stolen is not an infosec risk at all.
Full disk encryption is only as good as the TPM and I’d imagine that nation states have plenty of exploits they could use to bypass them. Not to mention cold boot attacks if the laptop was still running.
