$9.2 Billion on Secrecy
UPI – According to the Information Security Oversight Office the US Government spent $9.2 Billion on attempting to keep information secret –
That represents a 13 percent rise over the previous year, and the soaring expense fell disproportionately on the private sector, where the costs to government contractors and other companies of meeting government-mandated security standards nearly doubled.

…it doesn’t include the CIA.
