Also notice the entire screen shot. Netscape on Windows XP in, best we can tell, sometime after March 2006.

Netscape. With an AIM launcher in the status bar. Accessing TOP SECRET//COMINT//NOFORN resources.

This looks like Netscape 7 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netscape_(version_7)#mediaviewe...), which had its final release in August 2004, not the original Netscape.

Would it have been more secure if they used IE 6?

It would be on a totally isolated network. Classified networks don't touch unclassified networks.

Except by way of überadmin USB drives?

Maybe all software released after this is infested with spyware and exploits, and we are just led to believe it's the other way around
