Dave, I have to disagree (whodathunk) - the knowledge of what they do is classified, which is different from secret.
Security classifications include (but are not exclusively):-
Unclassified
Restricted
Confidential
Secret
Top Secret
Secret (codeword)
UK Eyes Only
and probably quite a few more.
As you can see, Secret is just one classification, as is Unclassified. Just because something is not disclosed, does not make it secret; I don't disclose my home address on this forum, but it's not a secret, I just restrict the dissemination of that information.
