Why This Score
This event describes a routine Secret Service leak investigation with minimal detail, low institutional impact, and narrow population scope. No clear constitutional violation, separation of powers issue, or systemic pattern is evident. Both A and B scores fall well below threshold (A<25, B<25), and no significant mechanism-driven distraction pattern is present, consistent with classification as Noise.
