Want to revise that? No. It's been a long time since I dealt with classified documents so I may be rusty on the terms of art but I doubt that the word, stole, is part of the parlance. The language of violations is procedural language, having to do with "handling." I don't think it's "stolen" until it gets into enemy hands. Perhaps this is just another of those semantic questions that affect these threads. If I take my neighbor's newspaper while the paper is still outside her door to check the TV schedule (I did that once when my computer was on the fritz) and return it unharmed before she even knows it's missing, I don't call that stolen but rather borrowed. I'm not suggesting that it's OK for me to borrow her paper without permission. I'm just trying to make a distinction between borrowing and stealing.
