I was unaware of the BBC (or any) major media coverage of this. It still worries me that this is going the route of "everybody look at this" to keep it secure. It does take a certain amount of trust among participants to go the route of "ok guys, we are going to handle these in a secret place until the job's done and we can distribute all at once," but the chosen route paints a very large bullseye on the operation.
I would imagine that it would not be hard for the police to justify a raid to reclaim classified documents, but maybe someone more familiar with the situation than myself could explain why this is less likely than my paranoid mind tells me?
