The Orange book is completely non-classified -- it bears not
even a Confidential or NoForeign.  The first item in the list
of purposes in my 1985 edition says:

	To provide a standard to manufacturers as to what security
	features to build into their new and planned commercial products ...

I bought my copy by walking into a GPO (Government Printing Office)
storefront and handing them money.  Anybody could do the same.

In the SU you could probably just ask your cab driver :-)

There is an address for "the public" to get copies:
	Office of Standards and Products,
	National Computer Security Center
	Fort Meade, MD 20755-6000
	Attention: Chief, Computer Security Standards

They probably want hard currency, and almost certainly won't
tell you anything about radars, but it's worth a try, no?
