All analogies are flawed. My main point was that, in terms of the Governor's own analogy, and also literally, the reporter didn't "take" anything.

All analogies aside, intent matters, and the reporters intent was to report a vulnerability and then to report the Government's actions to the public once the vulnerability was fixed. Neither of which are illegal.
