Why so secretive?

In terms of only recovering things under the cover of night, and hiding them under tarps? Not sure, maybe for ITAR concerns? Then again, we have the CEO posting the above photo on twitter for all to see, so perhaps ITAR is not a concern...

Releasing a single image after legal cleared it, is completely different from not doing enough for anyone with a camera renting a helicopter to take snapshots of whatever is left.

from memory I think it's for example combustion chamber / injector design which is the crux here, none of that is visible, but could be from different angles.
