Lapan noted that the information is from open source materials and does not include classified data. “It does not include information from historical or current investigative case data or current intelligence or threat stream data from classified data sets,” he added.

2. As I've said,

they still don't have their act together, 'consulting' with too many agencies among other reasons.

Lots of agencies with fingers in it, and most public servants/government 'bureaucrats' want to do the right thing. I suspect they/'we,' including the military, will save us from trumpetc.
