I think we actually agree on this point. Like I said, while I don't think it's criminal, it's possible for it to be ill-advised, stupid, and "wrong".

And by "illegal means", I meant along the lines of paying a janitor to swipe documents, or flat out breaking and entering. Anything other than someone with classified information choosing on their own to approach someone without clearence to leak info.
