This article fails to draw enough attention to a key item -- these are enhanced restrictions only for the classified systems. The headline reads like a ham-handed overreaction that's going to make it impossible for people to type up their quarterly reviews and leave requests.
I didn't deal with anything classified, but my understanding five years ago was that:
1. Any device that's gets plugged in to a secure system needs to have the red "this contains classified info" sticker on it.
2. Once a device becomes classified, it can never be plugged in to an unclassified system.
It sounds like the actual story is "military reviews, reiterates security policy in the wake of wikileaks scandal."
