I'm not dunking on Signal here (though there *are* some features and usability quirks I dislike). It's probably the best designed and implemented secure messaging platform *for general use* that we've got. I use and rely on Signal quite a bit myself.
But it's simply not designed for, or suitable for, classified national security communications.
