Wait, were the case files for Aaron Swartz classified or just never made public? What would be the reasoning for classifying his case? How was he a threat to national security?

I think classified is the wrong word. These are investigative documents released after a FOIA request, but I don't see any indication that they were ever classified.

Yea, unsealed or released would be better words (depending on the situation).
