It is no hidden secret people in the media and political world hear alot. So based off of MI-6 a ranking system was developed to classify information in Knox County.
Level 1-5 Anything written that while interesting, has confidentiality yet if confidence is broken info might be slightly embarrassing but not damaging.
Level 6 - Can be verbal communication only. Classified and can be bad if released to public. No paper trail can exist.
Level 7 - Sexual in nature. Affairs, divorces, cheating spouses, homosexual partners, relationships, and photos of nudity.
Level 8 - High risk of embarrassment and major financial implications. Declassified example. On election night the Focus had a covert operation with a 'Haslam Wins' special edition. I can confirm this was placed at Level 8. Only 5 people knew of the operation. The gamble was because with every major newspaper in the state at election night headquarters, if any paper copied or stole our idea they could have had 20 reporters and made it 40 pages deep hence giving the Focus diluted impact.
Level 9 - Highest level clearance. To reach this level you must be a member of a private subscription International Intelligence gathering source. Like Stratfor Global. The purpose is to ensure members are kept abreast of latest coercion trickery, corporate espionage, cyber warfare and other information gathering trade craft.
Members of this elite level are codenamed "K-9 Unit." In reference to Knoxville Unit Level Nine. You have to 'tapped in' by a current member with that clearance level.
So now you know the Knoxville lingo.
