That expression always makes me question the source. Top Secret is a classification level. There's nothing "above " it. After that, it's more of a case of just exactly who is "cleared" to have access. There are special clearances for various types of information. But if you have a TS clearance, you'll be eligible to get one if you TRULY have a "need to know ".

These scenarios are about if all hell brakes loose. Basically they are for when the alternative is chaos and anarchy.
