I'm surprised that there's only one other person in this thread discussing the possibility that this is a deliberately coordinated release of information by the military. I've never worked for the US military, however I doubt that if you're working in close proximity to classified hardware they just let you loose with a smartphone in your hand. The person filming this would surely have been easily identifiable, and subsequently punished. Even the most ignorant civilian contractor would surely have understood the full ramifications of their actions doing this. I think it seems to contrived.
- jasonhansel 5y agoA lot of "leaks" from the White House are actually authorized by the administration. So this isn't as improbable as it sounds.

I expect North Korea or Hamas to engage in this rather than the US.
- dragonwriter 5y ago> I doubt that if you're working in close proximity to classified hardware they just let you loose with a smartphone in your hand There is nothing except for speculation by the media outlet who benefits from it being perceived as classified that there is anything classified in the picture.
- IAmGraydon 5y agoIt’s either misinformation or they really don’t care who sees that object. I think it’s likely the latter.
- _kbh_ 5y agoI think its pretty likely they don't care, otherwise they have other options then testing it in literal broad daylight, uncovered in a RCS site that has construction happening.
