Crossword Genius

Very sensitive street cop is rattled (3-6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

top-secret

'very sensitive' is the definition.
(top secret means very sensitive or classified)

'street cop is rattled' is the wordplay.
'is rattled' is an anagram indicator.
'street'+'cop'='streetcop'
'streetcop' anagrammed gives 'TOP-SECRET'.

(Other definitions for top-secret that I've seen before include "Highly confidential" , "Highly restricted (information)" , "Highest classified (information)" , "Highly classified" , "Very hush-hush" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
