RE: Any idea what shadow agency this FBI guy is speaking of?
Make a dartboard of the alphabet agencies and throw your dart, those are your chances of figuring out which agency it is. It could be:
CIA, DIA, NSA, NRO, FBI, or a myriad other ones that you've never heard of; take your pick. A lot of them operate at the level of Special Access Program (SAP) or Special Compartmentalized Information (SCI). Many of them operate programs of various classifications.
From what I understand, the level of classification go:
UNCLASSIFIED (U) <-- this is does not necessarily mean it's cleared for public
UNCLASSIFIED//For Official Use Only (U//FOUO) <-- CAN'T be distributed to public
CONFIDENTIAL
SECRET <-- Can be shared with certain allied nations on a need to know basis
SECRET//NOFORN <-- US citizens on a need to know basis only
SECRET//ACCM <-- Secret level, but need to know, read-in to the program only
TOP SECRET
TS//NOFORN <-- No foreign nationals (even TS holders) are allowed to access the info.
TS//SCI <-- Must be "read in" to the program
TS//SCI w/ lifestyle poly: <-- requires lifestyle (drugs/sexuality/risk) polygraph
TS//SCI w/ counterintel poly: <-- requires polygraph on counterintelligence risk
TS//SAP <-- requires read in, can only work on task at a special site where everyone must pass through multiple security channels before being given access. (Special Access Program).
No guarantees that the above is 100% accurate or covers them all. Spilling anything above U//FOUO is generally considered grounds for termination and revocation of a security clearance. Anything above that may be considered grounds for felony indictment.
