You are accusing the government of intentionally "stoking" paranoia for publishing their data. Elsewhere in this same discussion, someone is promoting their theory that publishing it on a Friday is designed to intentionally get as little press coverage as possible.
Maybe it's just data gathered for security reasons and published in a somewhat sanitized format to satisfy public interest in the data while protecting national security.
The government publishes a lot of data. It's the public that makes the few anomalies in this particular data set into some kind of weird thing for reasons the government cannot control no matter how carefully they frame the whole thing.
