I have two questions about the email controversy

[anigbrowl]

66. Do you think cabinet members should be allowed to use briefcases?

You're saying that all official information has be treated with the security equivalent of the bubble (absolutely no documents leave the facility). Now you're entitled to that opinion (although I think it's way over the top) but I want to know just how rigidly you are defining this. Are you saying that if a member of the cabinet was given a classified document at work (in paper form) they should never ever pop in the briefcase to read at home in bed?

What perplexes me a bit about emailgate is that people are demanding cabinet members basically follow the exact same security procedures as the most junior staffers, notwithstanding the considerable authority cabinet members are invested with as the most senior officers in the administration after the President and VP.

I don't mean to be dismissive of all your criticisms, and I think Clinton's decision to run a separate email server at home was somewhat questionable. But a lot of these threads read as if she also failed to ask for the relevant pass before helping herself to some post-its from the stationery cupboard.
