I think we're all in agreement that being given access to a classified FBI database (regardless of whether the data you receive is itself considered classified) is a big no-no. Fine. But how do "outsiders" know what the FBI considers "classified" and what it doesn't? As I understand, Royer was furnishing Tony with old criminal records that he'd pulled from NCIC. Old criminal records aren't really something most people would consider top secret. What if Royer went to Tony, told him he had some stuff Tony would find interesting, and said it was perfectly okay to give it to him? What if an FBI agent told one of us the same thing? Would you even think twice? Wouldn't you assume that if the FBI guy said it was okay, it must be okay?
