A few years ago, I once met someone who worked on imaging devices for satellites for a military contractor, which was about all he would say about the specific work he did. He indicated that the building they did their work in had _no_ internet access. Generally, if they wanted to refer to things on the internet, they had to go to some internet-connected computers in another building, print out whatever they wanted and bring it back to the building they worked in.
Perhaps it's unrealistic to expect security without tradeoffs of convenience.

Sounds like standard operating procedure for Classified programs. Everything is either printed and brought in, or burned to a CD-R and virus scanned and then brought in.
