Thanks! I will also try to copy this to a talk page for you.

I'm sensitive to the issues you raise. There are times when I find the claim of OPSEC used for reasons that are really political/bureaucratic, times when it's the default to Never Say Anything, and times when it is extremely relevant. This just came up in an odd way; I'm doing some work in computers and electronics for commercial fishing vessels. Someone started putting Automatic Identification System data on the Web. AIS is rather like the air traffic control collision avoidance systems, with the intention that it covers a local area. The websites that were collecting this from multiple areas were getting into OPSEC, as they were creating a database that showed vessel tracking information that would be ideal for hijacking and piracy. I just frightened myself realizing it was 1970 when I worked on a US Navy system for movement reporting, which gave far, far less data than AIS, but was still (properly) SECRET.
